Excerpt from The Last Words of Thomas Carlyle; Wotton Reinfred: A Romance; Excursion (Futile Enough) To Paris; Letters
The two manuscripts included in The Last Words of Thomas Carlyle were left among the author's papers at his death. One of them, Wotton Reinfred, is Carlyle's only essay in fiction, and it therefore possesses so distinctive an interest that its omission from Carlyle's complete works would not be justifiable. The other, Excursion (Futile Enough) to Paris, offers a vivid picture of Carlyle's personality. By the publication of two manuscripts, with the accompanying letters, a new and considerable volume is added to the list of Carlyle's works.
Wotton Reinfred was probably written soon after Carlyle's marriage, at the time when he and his wife entertained the idea of producing a novel in collaboration.
