Autorenporträt
William Hazlitt (1778–1830) stands as a distinguished figure in the annals of English literature, esteemed for his trenchant criticism, essays, and lectures. Born on April 10, 1778, in Maidstone, Kent, he was the son of a Unitarian minister, which brought him into the orbit of progressive intellectual and political thought early in his life. Hazlitt pursued his own education in the fine arts and philosophy while engaging with the works of seminal thinkers such as Rousseau and Locke. His formidable intellect would later translate into a prolific career in writing and journalism. Hazlitt's style is noted for its clear, incisive prose and its potent mix of literary, social, and philosophical critique. One of his later works, 'Winterslow: Essays and Characters Written There' (1820), a collection centered around his thoughts and musings whilst residing in the village of Winterslow, encapsulates his ability to combine personal reflection with broader social commentary. Hazlitt approached a wide array of topics with a critical eye and a personal touch, earning him a place among the era's prominent essayists such as Charles Lamb and Thomas de Quincey. Despite facing financial difficulties and a certain degree of contemporary criticism, Hazlitt's legacy endures, and he is celebrated today for his contributions to the Romantic era's thought and literature.
