Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on the English Comic Writers It is undeniable that neither his most intimate friends nor his most sympathetic critics have spoken or written of William Hazlitt with enthusiastic abandon or with spontaneous affection. Men of far less ability than he, and of more limited outlook, have inspired devotion in their lifetime and stirred the pulses of posterity. His failure in this respect is the more remarkable because "the man´s writings are himself. He does not summarize or pigeon-hole the matter; but goes into it, then and there, before your eyes and takes you with him. You see the picture of which he is writing, you take up the line of argument he is defending, you think out the scheme he is elaborating, you study the author he is criticizing. Your mind shares the processes upon which he is engaged, and becomes lost in them. You read with his gusto or his prejudice, you reason with his vigour, and draw conclusions upon the basis of his experience." In other words, Hazlitt, despite his cynical estimate of the public, actually wrote with a keen sense of personal enjoyment that one would expect to have proved infectious. Yet we think, much and often, of what he has written; little and seldom of the man himself. The "Lectures on the Comic Writers" bear out our conclusion in a marked degree. They treat of a genial subject in a spirit of catholic appreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
