William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was one of the greatest of English
essayists, and this selection offers a wide range of his writings:
it begins with Hazlitt's comments on the romantic poets who were
his contemporaries, Wordsworth and Coleridge; it goes on to give a
flavour of his influential views on the theatre and the visual
arts; and it finishes with some fascinating accounts of the leisure
activities of the Romantics, from boxing to juggling to rambles in
the countryside. The selection was made by George Sampson in 1917
and reprinted many times thereafter, and the essays are offered
with annotations that not only illuminate the texts, but are
themselves now of interest as reflecting the period in which they
were written. Cambridge University Press is delighted to bring this
classic edition back into print.
