Features: This book takes the grasp of the spirit of the times and the influence of the author's personality on their creation as the main thread, offering a unique review and exploration of the development and evolution of European literature from ancient Greece to the end of the 18th century. It includes both comprehensive studies and case analyses. It does not aim to rationally analyze every literary phenomenon, every author, or every work, but rather expresses Carlyle's personal insights and feelings on various literary issues and the literary masters. The book pays more attention to the causes of literature, its developmental process, and its significance. The author has a broad knowledge, covering literature, history, and philosophy, with new insights emerging in his speeches and flashes of wisdom appearing frequently.
