Sartor Resartus (The Tailor Retailored) is ostensibly an introduction to a strange history of clothing by the German Professor of Things in General, Diogenes Teufelsdrockh; its deeper concerns are social injustice, the right way of living in the world, and the large questions of faith and understanding.

Podtitul: Úcta k hrdinům a hrdinství v dějinách. Obsah: Hrdina jako božstvo – Odin, pohanství a skandinávské báje; Hrdina jako prorok – Mohamed: Islam; Hrdina jako básník – Dante, Shakespeare; Hrdina knězem – Luther, reformace. Knox, puritánství; Hrdina spisovatelem – Johnson. Rousseau.Burns; Hrdina králem – Cromwell. Napoleon. Moderní revolucionářství. Přiložen jest portrét Carlylův podle Whistlera.
Carlyle knihu pojal jako srovnání životopisů muže z 19. století a středověkého opata. Společnost 19. století vnímá jako odlidštěnou ekonomickými problémy, naproti tomu vidí ve středověké mnišské komunitě sjednocení člověka s duchovními hodnotami. Inspirací mu byla tehdejší publikace knihy Chronicles of the Abbey of Saint Edmund's Bury od Jocelina z Brakelondu napsaná na konci 12. století.
Based on a series of lectures delivered in 1840, Thomas Carlyle’s On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History considers the creation of heroes and the ways they exert heroic leadership. From the divine and prophetic (Odin and Muhammad) to the poetic (Dante and Shakespeare) to the religious (Luther and Knox) to the political (Cromwell and Napoleon), Carlyle investigates the mysterious qualities that elevate humans to cultural significance. By situating the text in the context of six essays by distinguished scholars that reevaluate both Carlyle’s work and his ideas, David Sorensen and Brent Kinser argue that Carlyle's concept of heroism stresses the hero’s spiritual dimension. In Carlyle’s engagement with various heroic personalities, he dislodges religiosity from religion, myth from history, and truth from “quackery” as he describes the wondrous ways in which these “flowing light-fountains” unlock the heroic potential of ordinary human beings.
