'Hazlitt was not one of those non-committal writers who shuffle off
in a mist and die of their own insignificance. His essays are
emphatically himself... So thin is the vell of the essay as Hazlitt
wore it, his very look comes before us.' Virginia Woolf William
Hazlitt is England's greatest essayist. He was also a philosopher,
a painter, a controversialist and a radical, whose critical
writings about literature, the theatre and art were ardently
admired in his day. He is the author of the first confessional
autobiography of sexual passion, a biographer of Napoleon, a friend
of, and profound influence upon, Keats, Stendhal, and Charles Lamb,
a friend and later enemy of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and De Quincy,
and a key figure in the intellectual life of Regency England. His
life was lived against the backdrop of the French Revolution and
subsequent Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with their associated
political and literary radicalism in England.
