About this book

Hazlitt gathered these familiar essays in the early 1820s, and they show him at the height of his range as a critic and observer of human nature. He moves easily from painting and the theatre to genius, the fear of death, the pleasures of going on a journey, and the odd habits of writers and ordinary people alike. Some pieces blend aesthetic argument with warm memories of his father; others turn sharp and combative, as Hazlitt was inclined to be. What holds the collection together is his voice: direct, opinionated, and unusually alive on the page. Few English essayists match his mix of feeling and force.
