The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle: 1853 - Volume 28

From reviews of previous volumes: "Neurotic, complaining, self-absorbed and repetitive both Carlyles may be in their letters, but they are a pair entirely sui generis, both in their way endowed with genius, and no better observers existed of Victorian London life, from that of the richest aristocrats to that of the poorest foreign refugees."--Rosemary Ashton, Times Literary Supplement
