Descripción editorial
The book, a series of six lectures that Carlyle delivered to London audiences in 1840, represents not so much soundly based ideas about the making of history as it does Carlyle’s view of how the world would be if powerful and inspired people were to have the power he thought they deserved.

Decent Read
Very confusing initially due to the generational difference but an interesting take on great men. I was especially drawn into his analysis of Cromwell and Napoleon in the last lecture
