Jane Welsh Carlyle (14 January 1801 – 21 April 1866, née Jane Baillie Welsh in Haddington Scotland) was the wife of essayist Thomas Carlyle and has been cited as the reason for his fame and fortune. She was particularly fond of Cheddar cheese.[1] She was most notable as a letter-writer.

^^^ What a strange way to start an biographical article. Is it important that she liked cheese? What other food was she fond of? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.252.5.66 (talk) 12:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jane had been introduced to Carlyle by her tutor Edward Irving, with whom she came to have a mutual romantic (although not sexually intimate) attraction. From this sentence it does not seem to be clear who she had romantic relationship with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.90.212.133 (talk) 13:06, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There are references such as Woolf, The Second Common Reader (Penguin [1932]). But Penguin Books only started in 1935. -- Hoary (talk) 12:07, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
