¶Tarr A5.4. Written in 1831 Sartor Resartus was first published in Fraser's Magazine between November 1833 and August 1834 before being privately printed by Carlyle later in 1834. Carlyle was considered by some to be the 'spiritual godfather of American Romanticism'. With influence from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sartor Resartus was first printed separately by the Boston publisher James Munroe in 1836. Tarr notes that 'The influence of Sartor Resartus upon American Literature is so vast, so pervasive, that it is difficult to overstate.' A second US edition was published by Munroe in 1837 before it appeared in this first English trade edition of 1838.
