From the Publisher
"The best student edition now available."—David J. Bradshaw, Warren Wilson College
"Great edition—usable, much superior to old Penguin edition."—K. Arens, University of TexasPart novel, part philosophical treatise, part satire, Sartor Resartus is a masterpiece of 19th-century literature, following in the footsteps of Swift's Tale of a Tub and Sterne's Tristram Shandy and a key influence on Melville's Moby-Dick. Bubbling over with ideas, humour and inventiveness, it is - on the surface - a long-suffering British editor's sceptical account of a German philosopher's book, Clothes: Their Origin and Influence, which itself is steeped in German idealism. The author, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh (`god-born devil-dung'), is Carlyle's creation for exploring and expressing wider truths, which emerge through metaphor, comedic commentary, and quite dazzling prose - a novel simply to experience as much as to reflect upon.
