"The Plain Speaker" was the last great original work of William
Hazlitt (1778-1830), the finest prose writer of the romantic
period. It is written with characteristic passion, and displays his
erudition and wit to fine effect in some of his most important
essays: "On the Prose-Style of Poets," "On the Conversation of
Authors," "On Reason and Imagination," and "On Envy," to name a
few.
In this selection from the two-volume "Plain Speaker," Tom
Paulin and Duncan Wu have given priority to essays that address key
critical issues both in romantic studies today and the poetics of
prose. The volume contains a brilliant introduction to the central
themes of the volume by Tom Paulin who reads Hazlitt's
improvisatory, intensely physical and tactile prose, along a
dazzling line of critical discourse that ranges from Burke to
Barthes and Derrida, embracing en route, Lawrence and Hughes,
Picasso and Pollock, and Stravinsky.
Appended are: the "Advertisement" to the Paris edition of "Table
Talk" in which Hazlitt speaks of combining literary and
conversational styles; "A Half-length" portrait by Hazlitt of the
Tory politician and reviewer John Wilson Croker, an impassioned
piece of writing revealed here to have been of demonstrable
importance to Charles Dickens; and another portrait in words, this
time of Hazlitt, by John Hamilton Reynolds, the friend of
Keats.
