Jane Welsh Carlyle (14 January 1801 – 21 April 1866) was a Scottish writer. She did not publish any work in her lifetime, but she was widely seen as an extraordinary letter writer. Virginia Woolf called one of the "great letter writers," and Elizabeth Hardwick described her work as a "private writing career."
