Description
Excerpt from Hazlitt Essays on Poetry
Haer''r has been steadily regaining the reputation in which he was held by his contemporaries who knew him. Bulwer Lytton''s prediction that Hazlitt would stand to the next age amongst the foremost of the thinkers of his owp time may not have been realised but no competent reader will quarrel with the remark of Thackeray that Hazlitt was one of the keenest and brightest critics that ever lived. This Opinion alone might well be an excuse for a volume of the gems of Hazlitt''s criticism. But such a volume needs no excuse nowadays when the development of literary criticism is taking its place as a subject of academic study, and when he has been recognised as the critics'' critic.
