Talk:Thomas Carlyle
From Academic Kids
where do you want to put him in the canon? under essayist? near montaigne?
- BTW a fine read! I've heard of his Revolution but never read it. Is it available at Gutenberg?
- you're doing great work here! set up a user account so we 'know' who you are! --dgd
- The Gutenberg link is in the article. -- Jmabel 23:47, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
- You should note that Emerson also published Sartor Resartus in America at his own expense, and only broke even by the third printing.--Case 22:59, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit]
"The dismal science"
- He called Economics "The dismal science". I'm trying to work out where to add that factoid to the article. See http://ideas.repec.org/p/fth/melbec/715.html for more. Edward 10:20, 2005 Apr 2 (UTC)

Image confusion
I removed the second image from the article, because according to the source, it actually shows Robert Owen rather than Carlyle (compare [1] (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/photodraw/portraits/owen.jpg)). The correct image is evidently [2] (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/photodraw/portraits/carlyle.jpg). Wmahan. 03:30, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)
- This is now fixed, thanks to the great Magnus Manske. Wmahan. 22:55, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
