If you're not talking about Carlyle then why reply that it's kitsch when my post was prompted by Carlyle. He has the exact feeling I am talking about

Sartor Resartus was not a perfect book. It drags during the part about Blumenthal or whatever her name was. I do agree that anyone who finished it probably does not dislike it, but I'm not sure Id even recommend it to most people.
