      Dotat d’una intel·ligència i d’una capacitat de penetració fora del comú, Hazlitt no va ser gaire comprès ni tan sols pels seus contemporanis, que no li perdonaven la sinceritat ni el costum que tenia de dir les coses pel seu nom. Ell, tanmateix, no va parar d’ entre moltes altres coses, ens va ensenyar el plaer d’odiar, ens va descobrir els avantatges de viure per a un mateix, va apaivagar la por de la mort i, amb els seus mots precisos i punyents, va desemmascarar falsos erudits, crítics capbuits o persones extremament desagradables. «No s’ha fet mai justícia als immensos talents de William Hazlitt», afirma Bryan Waller Procter en la notícia que acompanya aquest volum. Llegint aquest llibre, podreu gaudir sens dubte d’aquests talents que encara són desconeguts per molts lectors.

      Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust: hatred alone is immortal' William Hazlitt William Hazlitt's tough, combative writings on subjects ranging from slavery to the imagination, boxing matches to the monarchy, established him as one of the greatest radicals of his age and have inspired journalists and political satirists ever since.

    • William Hazlitt (1778-1830) developed a variety of identities as a writer: essayist, philosopher, critic of literature, drama, and painting, biographer, political commentator, and polemicist. What unites this variety is his dramatic and passionate intelligence, his unswerving commitment to individual and political liberty, and his courageous opposition to established political and cultural power. Hailed in 1819 as `one of the ablest and most eloquent critics of our nation', Hazlitt was also reviled for his political radicalism by the conservative press of the period. His writing engages with many of the important cultural and political debates of a revolutionary period, and retains its power both to provoke and move the reader.
