"Life of John Sterling" by Thomas Carlyle is a biography published in 1851. It chronicles the life of Scottish author John Sterling, Carlyle's friend and colleague who died in 1844 at a young age. Written partly to counter another biographical memoir, Carlyle's work reveals their friendship through letters and portrays Sterling as an equal who offered frank criticism of Carlyle's own writing. Today, the biography is valued more as a work by Carlyle himself than as a study of Sterling's life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
