Question

Carlye conception of hero in hero as a poet

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A hero must “stand upon things, not upon the shadow of things.” ... The heroes who are closest to Carlyle's audience were Samuel Johnson, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Burns. As the priests are less than the prophets, so the heroic men of letters are less than the poets.

Answer 2

Carlyle's basic idea is that all history is the making of great persons, gifted with supreme power of vision or action. It thus becomes one's duty to “worship Heroes.” ... He offers leaders of religious movements, great poets, and military conquerors as equally great or heroic.
