An appreciation by G. M. Trevelyan , O.M.
Dr. Trevelyan speaks of Carlyle as a classic who once exerted a great influence but now is read by few, though his name is known to all. Dr. Trevelyan holds that Carlyle's most permanent value lies in his historical work, and discusses in particular the unique qualities-and the limitations-of his ' French Revolution '
Carlyle's origins, his life, and character are related to his writings, and Dr. Trevelyan pays special attention to the earlier political philosophy of Carlyle and its degeneration, in his old age, into the gospel of force and rule by ' heroes ' followed at 7.50 by Interlude
