SYM=GetSymbol('BIO'); Biography More by William Hazlitt 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.

Classical Essays Interviews EAE Students ... Contact William Hazlitt Biography Along with Francis Bacon and Charles Lamb, William Hazlitt stands at the head of the modern English tradition of the personal essay. Working as a periodical contributor in London, he wrote about a wide variety of subjects, including painting, politics, society, travel, relationships, and literature. He was as clever and insightful a critic as he was a philosopher, and he grew in status and fame exponentially. Among his acquaintances in the English literary scene were the previously mentioned Charles Lamb, as well as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, John Stoddart, and others. In addition to writing for the Times The Morning Chronicle, and The Edinburgh Review, Hazlitt produced several extremely popular collections of essays. Round Table, and Characters of Shakespeare's Plays came out in 1817, and The Spirit of the Age was published in 1825. On the Pleasure of Hating appeared in 1826. Because he depended on his pen for a living, his opinion and personal life ended up causing him a tremendous amount of trouble. Political enemies seized upon some unfortunate decisions Hazlitt made regarding his personal life (He committed adultery), and orchestrated Hazlitt's fall from prosperity and popularity. In 1830, he past away, largely absent from the literary scene that had favored him earlier in life. However, many of his essays are still in print todaya fact that attests to the timeless popularity of his writing.

67. William Hazlitt's Anthology, 1824 By william hazlitt. Embellished with Seven Ornamented Portraits, After a Design by T. Stothard, R. A. London Published by Wm. C. Hall, and Sold by all http://www.orgs.muohio.edu/anthologies/haz1.htm

This web page contains my notes from examining Hazlitt's anthology at the British Library, an 1824 edition. This edition was suppressed according to Hazlitt's biographer because the booksellers were afraid that publishing a collection of poetry containing contemporary, living poets might decrease the sales of those poets' volumes. Thus, living poets were removed from the later 1825 edition that was actually published; you can see my notes to that edition as well by clicking on it. My notes, available on these two web pages, include the table of contents of each edition. 11601.i.13 [A handwritten card in front says, "This Editionwhich contains the Living Poets was suppressed and the work was published next year, 1825, with the Poets down to Cowper only. [vol?] is very rare." The note is not quite accurate, since the published 1825 edition does also contain Burns , as does this unpublished volume.] [Same picture (see ) facing the title page; no half-title] Select British Poets, or New Elegant Extracts from Chaucer to the Present Time, With Critical Remarks .

His life as a journalist lay in London, but his real life - shared with his wife, Sarah, and their young son - was played out in the heart of this small Wiltshire village. In London, he spent his time in printing-houses, newspaper offices, theatres and taverns. His London was the city to the west of St Paul's - Holborn, the Strand, Covent Garden, Piccadilly, Mayfair and, most of all, Soho, where he would die in 1830. There, he drank and smoked with Charles Lamb, Leigh Hunt and Coleridge, consorted with actresses and prostitutes, went to the theatre, and wrote some of the finest prose in the language.
