Sartor Resartus

Sartor Resartus was written as a fictitious commentary on the writings of an imaginary German thinker named Diogenes Teufelsdrockh, author of Clothes: their Origin and Influence. Reviewing this work is a curmudgeonly, skeptical English Reviewer, referred to simply as 'Editor.' This eccentric novel confuses fact and fiction, the serious and satirical, in order to better confront the nature of truth. Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus became one of the important texts of nineteenth-century English literature, influencing the Romantic movement, Victorian culture and American Transcendentalism.HarperPerennialClassics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
