From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801-07-14 - 1866-04-21, née Jane Welsh in Haddington Scotland) was the wife of essayist Thomas Carlyle and has been cited as the reason for his fame and fortune[1]. She was most notable as a letter-writer. In 1973 G.B. Tennyson described her as
| “ | One of the rare Victorian wives who are of literary interest in their own right…..to be remembered as one of the great letter writers (in some respects her husband’s superior) of the nineteenth century is glory beyond the dreams of avarice.[1] | ” |
