GORE, WILLARD C. Carlyle's Essay on Burns with Poems from Burns
Macmillan, 1925. Small Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Minor cover edge wear, front & back hinges loose (netting visible), ink on inside of covers & endpapers. "Thomas Carlyle (December 4, 1795 - February 5, 1881) was a Scottish essayist, satirist, and historian, whose work was hugely influential during the Victorian era. Coming from a strictly Calvinist family, Carlyle was expected by his parents to become a preacher. However, while at the University of Edinburgh, he lost his Christian faith; nevertheless, Calvinist values remained with him throughout his life. This combination of a religious temperament with loss of faith in traditional Christianity made Carlyle's work appealing to many Victorians who were grappling with scientific and political changes that threatened the traditional social order." -- Wikipedia.
