Reminiscences (1881), by the historian and social critic Thomas Carlyle, is a posthumously published work containing two lengthy memoirs of the author's wife, Jane Welsh Carlyle, and friend, Edward Irving, together with shorter essays on his father and some of the literary friends of his youth.

Nevertheless, it is characterized by great vividness and accuracy of detail, and by a comparatively direct, conversational style, and has been called an autobiographical masterpiece.
