Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography (1984) and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography (1983).

Thomas Carlyle was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. A biography that draws upon years of research and unpublished letters, Thomas Carlyle examines the life of the Victorian genius. Carlyle was the author of Sartor Resartus and The French Revolution: A History, and he possessed one of literature's most flamboyant prose styles. Despite a childhood beset by anxiety and illness, Carlyle was indefatigable in his literary production. Fred Kaplan delves into the author's intense personal life, which includes his turbulent marriage to author Jane Baillie Welsh and his disillusionment with religion.
