Memoir: My Life and Themes
As I expected from Ashton (having read her biographies of George Eliot and G.H. Lewes), this is an excellent biography, thorough and well-researched. The Carlyles had a famously unhappy marriage, and Ashton is sympathetic to both of them, yet objective, never taking sides; she understands Carlyle's tortured genius and neglect of his wife as well as Jane's self-pity and repressed talents and astutely shows how their difficult personalities interacted with each other as well as with their friends and family. I am now dying to get my hands on some of the Carlyles' letters, especially Jane's.
