/lit/ - Literature

I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Oxford World's Classics for publishing Carlyle's Past and Present this past summer, one of the highest profile publications of his political works in years. Thank you for not succumbing to academic censorship and suppressing Carlyle like the rest of the literary establishment. The fact that one of the most important figures of the 19th has been deliberately hidden from the public because he poses too great a threat to the liberal-capitalist system is absurd. No other social critic gets this kind of treatment -- not Marx or Nietzsche or Lenin. It's only Carlyle and Ruskin who have been carefully, intentionally ignored.
