ON HEROES, HERO-WORSHIP, AND THE HEROIC IN HISTORY by Thomas Carlyle - REVIEW

A review of the collection of lectures "On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History" by Scottish author and historian Thomas Carlyle, a most respectable work of vulgarization about what it is in history that begets heroes and why we come to nurture such adoration for them. Hope you enjoy!
