  Thomas Carlysle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Sartor Resartus, the narrator finds contempt for all things in human society and life.
Thomas Carlysle is notable both for his continuation of older traditions of the Tory satirists of the 18th century in England and for forging a new tradition of Victorian era criticism of progress.
Sartor Resartus can be seen both as an extension of the chaotic, skeptical satires of Jonathan Swift and Laurence Sterne and as an annunciation of a new point of view on values.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Sartor Resartus
Called “Sartor Resartus”, this “thought piece” was no more than a short skit poking fun at the British addiction to empiricism as a form of knowledge, and contrasting it to the more comprehensive outlook of the German romantics.
Sartor Resartus literally means “the tailor re-tailored”, an old pun (stemming from the Renaissance Florentine humanist, Coluccio Salutati) collapsing the distinction between the human intellect and literary editor's “cut-and-paste” activity, and between effortless divine thought and laborious manual craft.
Essentially, the message of Sartor Resartus is that the particularity of an individual life with all its thoughts and deeds somehow exceeds the reductive simplicity (and clarity) of philosophy, ethics, and politics.

Sartor Resartus falls into two parts, a disquisition on the “philosophy of clothes”— which, doubtless, formed the original nucleus of the book— and an autobiographic romance, modelled, to a large extent, on the writings of Jean Paul.
Here, moreover, and not in its metaphysics, lay the significance of Sartor Resartus for more than one generation of young Englishmen; in Carlyle’s cry of defiance—for defiance it was, rather than meek resignation—in his “Close thy Byron, open thy Goethe!” “Love not Pleasure; love God.
Sartor had begun to appear in Frase’s Magazine before the move was made; but, owing to what the editor regarded as its dubious quality, it was not paid for at the full rate, and the result went far towards justifying the editorial attitude.

 Thomas Carlyle
His rallying call to "Work and despair not," from Sartor Resartus onward, seeks to give shape to a vision of directed energy, directed to production in an ordered society, guided by a yet higher energy that is not seen and not understood, yet that is clearly there in Carlyle's world pattern.

Readers tackling Sartor for the first time will not be surprised to hear that seven years passed before Carlyle got it published in Britain.
By then Carlyle's French Revolution had appeared, so Sartor was published in greater and greater numbers till the early 20th century, being famous as the first great outcry of a voice all intelligent folk should read and understand, if only a little.
Unbelief is so common now that perhaps a majority of comfortable people find the world good enough for them without it, but religion is still widespread among a majority whose lives are not comfortable at all, and perhaps nobody can feel life deeply satisfying without some vision of goodness greater than themselves.

 prawnwarp: Sartor Resartus
Thomas Carlyle First published in 1833-34 in Frasier's Magazine, Sartor Resartus is a good reminder of how strange the 19th century was, or, alternatively, how dull public discourse has become in the intervening 170 years.
Because of this, the 1800s, for me, symbolised everything which the wacky and tragic 20th century was not: a fat, comfortable, safe and boring land, where everyone wore frock coats and nobody smiled.
But here we have Sartor Resartus, the 'Life and Opinions' of a German professor, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, whose magnum opus is a tract on the philosophy of clothes.
