Carlyle was educated at Annan Academy and Edinburgh University and initially embarked on a career as a schoolteacher. Turning to writing in 1819, Carlyle published numerous essays and biographies, including his Life of Schiller (1825). He moved to London in 1834 and published his French Revolution in 1837, considered to be his best work. His philosophical autobiography, Sartor Resartus, appeared in 1831. He was appointed rector of Edinburgh University in 1865. Some of Carlyle's other important works include Chartism (1839), Past and Present (1843), Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches (1845), History of Frederick the Great (1865), The Early King's of Norway (1875) and Reminiscences (1881). |
