Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist whose intellectual pursuits were often informed by his experiences in a rapidly industrializing world. His disdain for superficial material success and his fervent belief in the dignity of human labor propelled him toward engaging with the Chartist movement’Äîa working-class campaign for political reform. Carlyle’Äôs own struggles with societal change profoundly influenced his thinking, prompting him to champion the cause of social justice and individual integrity. ‘Chartism’ is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of literature and social thought, as it not only elucidates the historical context of the movement but also resonates with contemporary issues of inequality and justice.
