Description

On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, six essays by Thomas Carlyle, published in 1841 and based on a series of lectures he delivered in 1840.

In the essays he discusses different types of heroes and offers examples of each type, including divinities (pagan myths), prophets (Muhammad), poets (Dante and Shakespeare), priests (Martin Luther and John Knox), men of letters (Samuel Johnson and Jean-Jacques Rousseau), and rulers (Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon).
