pp. 113. “In Chartism (1840) he appeared as a bitter opponent of conventional economic theory, but the radical-progressive and the reactionary elements were curiously blurred and mingled. With the publication of On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History (1841) his reverence for strength, particularly when combined with the conviction of a God-given mission, began to emerge. He discussed the hero as divinity (pagan myths), as prophet (Muhammad), as poet (Dante and William Shakespeare), as priest (Martin Luther and John Knox), as man of letters (Samuel Johnson and Robert Burns), and as king (Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte).”
