jan 1, 1837 - The French Revolution

Description:

The French Revolution established Carlyle’s reputation. Its creation was beset with difficulty; after spending months on the manuscript in 1834, Carlyle lent his only draft to philosopher John Stuart Mill, who accidentally burned it. After Mill confessed what had happened, Carlyle responded in a generous and uncharacteristically lighthearted manner. He immediately began to reconstruct the work.
