According to Wikipedia: \"Thomas Carlyle (1795 – 1881) was a Scottish essayist, satirist, and historian, whose work was highly influential during the Victorian era. Coming from a strict Calvinist family, Carlyle was expected by his parents to become a preacher, but while at the University of Edinburgh, he lost his Christian faith. Calvinist values, however, remained with him throughout his life. This combination of a religious temperament with loss of faith in traditional Christianity made Carlyle's work appealing to many Victorians who were grappling with scientific and political changes that threatened the traditional social order.","brand":"Seltzer Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155141542128,"sku":"9781455351411","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455351411_p0.jpg?v=1763855066","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455351411","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
