Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle was a Scottish philosopher, satirical writer, essayist, historian and teacher. Considered one of the most important social commentators of his time, he presented many lectures during his lifetime with certain acclaim in the Victorian era. One of those conferences resulted in his famous work On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History where he explains that the key role in history lies in the actions of the "Great Man", claiming that "History is nothing but the biography of the Great Man".

      Never­the­less he can use Tools, can de­vise Tools: with these the gran­ite moun­tain melts into light dust be­fore him; he kneads glow­ing iron, as if it were soft paste; seas are his smooth high­way, winds and fire his un­weary­ing steeds.
