Review of The Carlyles at Home and Abroad: Essays in Honour of Kenneth J. Fielding (Hardcover)

I had the good fortune of being a friend and informal student of Professor Fielding, and I am delighted to see that such a fine compilation of international Carlylean scholars pay tribute to his scholarship. I agree with Prof. Fielding's observation about being able to appreciate Carlyle better when reading him backwards, and I admit that I read this book in reverse! The essays are informative, scholarly, accessible: not being a Carlyle specialist myself I admit that I've always found reading him daunting (the voluminousness of the tomes, the convoluted language and diverse historical references )but this collection of essays is an excellent Everyman introduction, as well as a movable feast for aficionados. I was particularly compelled by Ronald Wendling's juxtaposition of Carlyle and Coleridge.
