เกี่ยวกับ eBook เล่มนี้
A lively, wide-ranging collection of writing by nineteenth-century luminary William Hazlitt—a pioneering art and theater critic, a radical political commentator, and one of the English language’s greatest essayists.
“I am no politician, and still less can I be said to be a party-man: but I have a hatred of tyranny, and a contempt for its tools; and this feeling I have expressed as often and as strongly as I could. I cannot sit quietly down under the claims of barefaced power, and I have tried to expose the little arts of sophistry by which they are defended.”
Of the great writers of the English Romantic age, William Hazlitt comes closest to the modern sensibility. A dissident in politics, a radical commentator on the discontents of the Regency years, he was also an admired theater and art critic, and a generous appreciator of the new poetry of Wordsworth, Keats, and others.
David Bromwich—the author of Hazlitt: The Mind of a Critic—has selected the best of Hazlitt’s essays to represent the continuous strength and inventiveness of his prose. This volume includes familiar essays such as “On the Pleasure of Painting” and “On the Pleasure of Hating,” as well as Hazlitt’s memoir of his early encounters with Coleridge and Wordsworth, “My First Acquaintance with Poets.” Here, too, are his inimitable sketches of Shakespeare’s characters, and sharply rendered portraits of contemporaries such as Jeremy Bentham, William Godwin, Sir Walter Scott, and Lord Byron.
