Hazlitt: The Mind of a Critic

By David Bromwich

Book Overview

Metaphysician, painter, radical pamphleteer, critic, and essayist, William Hazlitt was both a brilliant polemicist and a persuasive expositor of ideas. This acclaimed study--a 1984 nominee for the National Book Critics Award in criticism--fairly presents the two sides of his achievement. It is at once an intellectual portrait of this skeptical genius and a contribution to the history of romanticism.
