The bibliography presented here is intended to provide readers with a selective introduction to scholarship on Sartor Resartus. It includes works that reflect upon the narratological structure, politics, and context of the volume, but of necessity omits many valuable studies that engage with the more minute details of Carlyle’s writing.

Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland

Olive Schreiner's Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland (1897) gives voice to one of the most powerful and uncompromising denunciations of imperial violence published in the nineteenth century, and yet the work stands largely unread by students of Victorian literature. The novella, set in Rhodesia under Company Rule, depicts an encounter between a young British soldier lost in the veld and a mysterious Christ-like stranger who transforms his views on colonialism.
