About Author

Henry Adams

Henry Adams (January 21, 1583 – October 6, 1646) was an English colonial farmer. Also known as Henry Adams of Braintree, he was a patrilineal emigrant ancestor of U.S. Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, great-great-grandfather of U.S. Founding Father Samuel Adams, and 9th great-grandfather of U.S. President Calvin Coolidge.

Description

"Thomas Carlyle, renowned nineteenth-century essayist and social critic, came to be thought of as a secular prophet by many of his readers and as the "undoubted head of English letters" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Historical Essays brings together for the first time Carlyle's essays on history and historical subjects in a fully annotated modern edition. Originally collected in Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, these essays span Carlyle's career from 1830 to 1875 and represent a major facet of his writings. This edition uses all the extant authoritative versions of the essays to create an accurate critical text and includes a mine of lucidly presented information to enhance readers' understanding of Carlyle's densely allusive prose."--BOOK JACKET.
