Tom Paine was considered for the time as a Tom Fool to him, Paley an old woman, Edmund Burke a flashy sophist. Truth, moral truth, it was supposed, had here taken up its abode; and these were the oracles of thought. Oh! and is all forgot? Is this sun of intellect blotted from the sky? Or has it suffered total eclipse? Or is it we who make the fancied gloom, by looking at it through the paltry, broken, stained fragments of our own interests and prejudices? Were we fools then, or are we dishonest now? Or was the impulse of the mind less likely to be true and sound when it arose from high thought and warm feeling, than afterwards, when it was warped and debased by the example, the vices, and follies of the world?

You are in National Portrait Gallery Press releases WILLIAM HAZLITT'S THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE A RADICAL CRITIC'S VIEW OF HIS TIMES 20 May - 26 October 2003 Room 16 Admission Free William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was the leading journalist, essayist and critic of the early nineteenth century. In 1825 he published The Spirit of the Age , a volume of prose 'portraits' of his most famous contemporaries. Far from celebrating their achievements, Hazlitt unleashed an opinionated attack on the vanity and hypocrisy of his times. This exhibition, which coincides with the re-opening of the National Portrait Gallery's refurbished Weldon Galleries, draws on the Gallery's collection of works on paper to illustrate and consider Hazlitt's critical portrait of the decades following the French Revolution. Although the book itself was not illustrated, The Spirit of the Age presents a collection of twenty-four character studies, and this display is arranged according to the sequence offered in Hazlitt's volume. Each of the portraits exhibited is accompanied by a quote from Hazlitt's text, offering his opinion on their character and work. Sitters include the most eminent of Hazlitt's contemporaries such as Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir Walter Scott, John Horne Tooke and William Wilberforce. The portraits, by artists including James Gillray, Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey and George Richmond are in a variety of media including chalk, watercolour, etchings, engravings and lithographs.

On the Love of the Country (November, 1814) "We do not connect the same feelings with the works of art as with those of Nature, because we refer them to man, and associate with them the separate interests and passions which we know belong to those who are the authors or possessors of them." On Poetry (From: Lectures on the English Poets "Poetry is in all its shapes the language of the imagination and the passions, of fancy and will. Nothing, therefore, can be more absurd than the outcry which has been sometimes raised by frigid and pedantic critics, for reducing the language of poetry to the standard of common sense and reason: for the end and use of poetry, 'both at the first and now, was and is to hold the mirror up to nature', seen through the medium of passion and imagination, not divested of that medium by means of literal truth or abstract reason." Coleridge: From "Lectures on the English Poets" "His Ancient Mariner is his most remarkable performance, and the only one that I could point out to anyone as giving an adequate idea of his great natural powers. ... He talked on for ever; and you wished him to talk on for ever. His thoughts did not seem to come with labour and effort; but as if borne on the gusts of genius, and as if the wings of his imagination lifted him from off his feet."

Virginia Woolf The Common Reader, Second Series WILLIAM HAZLITT It is the mask only that we dread and hate; the man may have something human about him! The notions in short which we entertain of people at a distance, or from partial representation, or from guess-work, are simple, uncompounded ideas, which answer to nothing in reality; those which we derive from experience are mixed modes, the only true and, in general, the most favourable ones. Needless to say that is not criticism. It is sitting in an armchair and gazing into the fire, and building up image after image of what one has seen in a book. It is loving and taking the liberties of a lover. It is being Hazlitt. Table of Contents Next Last updated on Fri Jun 4 10:55:54 2004 for eBooks@Adelaide

Your Account click to view biography by this author Image Information William Hazlitt William Hazlitt was born in 1778 at Maidstone. His parents were revolutionaries and intellectual deists familiar with the works of Priestley, Price and Godwin. In 1783 the family emigrated to America, but they found life there disappointing and returned to England in 1788, settling at Wem in Shropshire. Hazlitt rejected his father's wish that he should become a Unitarian Minister, but in 1798 he heard Coleridge's last sermon, which proved a turning-point in his career. Coleridge encouraged him to pursue his interest in philosophy and Hazlitt later wrote several such works, including An Essay on the Principles of Human Action An Abridgement of 'The Light of Nature pursued by Abraham Tucker ' (1807) and his great attack on Malthus, A Reply to the Essay on Population (1807). Art was one of his greatest passions and his training in Paris left its mark on his writing. Unlike his literary contemporaries, such as Wordsworth and Coleridge, Hazlitt remained a radical all his life, and this commitment made him many enemies. Much of his writing is ephemeral, but there is a body of literary and social criticism which holds an important place in English literature. A great essayist, he handled a wide range of styles, from the abstract and formal ideas in ' On Reason and Imagination ' to the colloquialism of ' The Fight '. In 1812 he became Parliamentary Reporter for the Morning Chronicle and was soon filling its columns with essays on diverse subjects and brilliant accounts of the London stage.

20. William Hazlitt - Essay On HAMLET By william hazlitt. First Published 1817. http://shakespearean.org.uk/ham1-haz.htm

Characters of Shakespear's Plays - By William Hazlitt (First Published 1817) Source Text : William Hazlitt, Lectures on the Literature of the Age of Elizabeth and Characters of Shakespear's Plays (London : George Bell and Sons, 1900), pp. 73-81. Note - The pages of Characters of Shakespear's Plays are numbered separately from Lectures on ... Elizabeth Transcribed and edited by Thomas Larque . Page numbers are given in the web text, in square brackets, at the start of each page. This edition was reprinted from Stereotype Plates from the 1869 edition, which itself collated all Shakespearean quotations "with the late Mr. Dyce's revised and final text of 1868. In all the former editions these quotations were corrupt beyond measure. A few Notes have also been added". http://shakespearean.org.uk for more details. NOTE ON SPELLING - Unless otherwise mentioned these texts are produced with their original spellings intact. This means, for example, that Hazlitt in this essay on Hamlet refers to "Shakespear" and Coleridge's lecture, elsewhere on this website, to "Shakspere". These are not mistakes. Shakespeare's name was spelled in many different ways during the Renaissance (including at the most extreme "Shagspere", "Shexpere" and "Shaxberd"), Shakespeare himself, in his surviving signatures, spelled his name "Shakspere" or "Shakspeare", and the modern fixed spelling ("Shakespeare") was not considered to be the only correct one until some time into the 20 th Century.
