Autorenporträt
William Hazlitt (1778-1830), one of the prominent essayists of the English Romantic period, was a prolific writer, critic, and thinker whose work encapsulates the aesthetic and philosophical preoccupations of his time. Renowned for his insightful prose and cultural commentary, Hazlitt's literary creations extend beyond the traditional bounds of critique to reflect a deeply personal engagement with art and society. 'Hazlitt on English Literature: An Introduction to the Appreciation of Literature' exemplifies his approach to criticism—combining scholarly rigour with a passionate and accessible style; it remains a seminal text for students and connoisseurs of English literature. Hazlitt's oeuvre is marked by both acuity and broad humanistic interest, characteristics that have secured his place among the pillars of English literary criticism. His essays 'The Spirit of the Age' and 'Table Talk' display a particular melding of wit, cultural observation, and critical analysis that has granted him distinction in the literary retrospect. With a style that is at once polemical and reflective, often engaging with contemporary political and philosophical debates, Hazlitt's contributions to English letters arc across the genres of criticism, philosophy, and even art commentary. Despite fluctuating recognition posthumously, his work continues to be the subject of academic study and to resonate with readers seeking articulate and astute examinations of literature and human experience.
