Biographies

The Life of John Sterling is a biography written by Thomas Carlyle and published in 1851, detailing the life of his friend, Scottish author John Sterling (1806–1844). The work serves as both a tribute to Sterling's character and an examination of his literary legacy, highlighting his struggles with orthodox beliefs and his vibrant personality. Carlyle aims to correct previous mischaracterizations of Sterling, presenting him as a figure of intellect and hope rather than merely a clergyman. The biography reflects their deep friendship and Sterling's role as a significant influence on Carlyle's own work.
