Summary: "Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 1, Essay 2: Carlyle" by John Morley is a critical essay written in the early 20th century. This work examines the influence and legacy of the Victorian author and thinker Thomas Carlyle, exploring his complex views on society, literature, and morality. Given its focus on Carlyle's contributions to thought, the essay delves into the nuances of his educational and social critiques, as well as his impact on contemporary moral energies and literary movements. The opening of this essay sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Carlyle's significant role in shaping English thought and sentiment. Morley emphasizes Carlyle's unique ability to articulate the deep unrest and moral crises of his time while simultaneously critiquing the superficiality of popular philosophies and societal structures. He acknowledges both the fervor and shortcomings of Carlyle's vision, notably his propensity for emotional appeals and dismissive views of the masses. Through a blend of admiration and critique, Morley begins to unravel how Carlyle's ideas served as both a catalyst for social reflection and a source of tension, defining the landscape of moral discourse in a period marked by change.
