Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Crowned Masterpieces of Literature That Have Advanced Civilization, Vol. 3 of 10: As Preserved and Presented by the World's Best Essays, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time
The essay ou the Death of Goethe is notable among his best works because of the deep sincerity of the admiration it expresses and of the unforced simplicity of its style. This, its closing sentence, suggests what was to Carlyle the beginning of a new life, - a career of protracted struggle in which he was deliberately and resolutely to attempt to live the whole distracted existence of man in an age of unbelief.
