Carlyle's Laugh and Other Surprises is a collection of essays and lectures written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The book is named after the first essay, which explores the enigmatic and often misunderstood laughter of the Scottish philosopher and writer, Thomas Carlyle. The collection also includes essays on a variety of topics, including literature, history, and politics. Higginson draws on his experiences as a soldier in the Civil War and his involvement in the women's suffrage movement to offer unique insights into these subjects. The essays are written in Higginson's characteristic style, which is both erudite and accessible. Overall, Carlyle's Laugh and Other Surprises is a thought-provoking and engaging collection of essays that will appeal to readers interested in a wide range of topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
