John Nichol traces Carlyle from his boyhood at Ecclefechan and student years in Edinburgh to the lonely farm at Craigenputtock and the long London years at Cheyne Row. He weighs the great books, Sartor Resartus, The French Revolution and Frederick the Great, and the marriage, friendships and letters of a difficult genius.
