Sartor Resartus | The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh | In Three Books

Carlyle, Thomas [Thomas Carlyle (4 December 1795 - 5 February 1881) Scottish historian, philosopher and mathematician who expressed himself as an essayist and satirist].

(Book #ID 107796)

Published by Chapman and Hall, 193 Piccadilly, London 1869. 1869.

Re-backed preserving the original spine hard back binding in publisher's original brick red cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, bevelled edges. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. The work is, in part, a parody of Hegel, and of German Idealism more generally, Carlyle had difficulty finding a publisher for the novel, and began composing it as an article in October 1831 in Fraser's serialised Magazine in 1833-1834. The text would first appear in book form in Boston in 1836, its publication arranged by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who much admired the book and also Carlyle. Emerson's savvy dealing with the overseas publishers would ensure Carlyle received high compensation, which the novel did not attain in Britain which was first published in London in 1838. Contains tissue-guarded portrait frontispiece (viii), 308 pp + 32 pp publisher's catalogue dated January 1869. Browning to the tissue-guard, sporadic foxing to the end sheets, ink name verso front free end paper 'Rosa F. Gibson - Christmas Day 1869', simple name plate to the front free end paper.
