What is Thomas Carlyle known for?

I am known for my fervent pronouncements against the spiritual emptiness of the Mechanical Age and the hollowness of modern industrial society. My works, such as 'Sartor Resartus' and 'On Heroes, Hero-Worship,' advocate for a robust, moral understanding of history and the vital role of genuine, heroic leadership in guiding humanity. I sought to awaken souls from the slumber of materialism and superficiality, urging a return to truth, work, and authentic being.
