The book explores the concept of heroism and how it is depicted in literature. Carlyle argues that heroes are not only found in history but also in literature, and that writers have the power to create heroes through their words. The essays examine the works of various authors including William Shakespeare, Dante Alighieri, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and analyze how they portray heroism. Carlyle also delves into the qualities that make a hero, such as courage, selflessness, and determination. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of heroism and its role in literature and society.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: On Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History, by Thomas Carlyle.
