Latter-Day Pamphlets, Part I

"Latter-Day Pamphlets finds Thomas Carlyle in fierce prophetic flood, denouncing the social and political ills of his day, from parliamentary democracy to abolitionism. This meticulously curated edition includes manuscript drafts along with both versions of an ancillary essay, the notorious 'Occasional Discourse.' An introduction explores the work's contentious reception and its later uptake by socialist thinkers."--Ian Duncan, University of California, Berkeley
