description: William Hazlitt (1778-1830) developed a variety of identities as a essayist, philosopher, critic of literature, drama and art, biographer, political commentator, and polemicist. Praised for his eloquence, he was also reviled by conservatives for his radical politics. This edition, thematically organized for ease of access, contains some of his best-known essays, such as The Indian Jugglers and The Fight , as well as more obscure pieces on politics, philosophy, and culture.
