	William Hazlitt - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILLIAM HAZLITT (1778-1830), British literary critic and essayist, was born on the 10th of April 1778 at Maidstone, where his father, William Hazlitt, was minister of a Unitarian congregation.
		Next to Coleridge, Hazlitt was perhaps the most powerful exponent of the dawning perception that Shakespeare's art was no less marvellous than his genius; and Hazlitt's criticism did not, like Coleridge's, remain in the condition of a series of brilliant but fitful glimpses of insight, but was elaborated with steady care.
		Hazlitt's grandson, William Carew Hazlitt, the bibliographer, was born on the 2 2nd of August 1834.

	C. Harris: William Hazlitt's Theater Criticism
		Hazlitt's point is thus that acting should be judged in the same terms, and using the same terminology, as already established art forms such as poetry and painting.
		Yet Hazlitt was also responsible for the invention of a tradition of British acting which entailed the regular trumpeting of the stars of past and present as a way of reinforcing in the reader/spectator a sense of common heritage.
		Hazlitt's response to this intrusion of class elitism in the egalitarian realm of the theater is to remind readers of the ideally inclusive, unifying effects of this institution.

	William Hazlitt - Essays - Penguin Classics
		This is where Hazlitt's classic essay 'The Fight' helps us to see that there has to be a bridge between the sweaty world of popular spectacle - a boxing match in the open countryside - and what we often tend to think of as the fixed, permanent, airless, platonic, perfect realm that is the classic.
		The word 'candour' belongs to the radical dissenting culture which formed Hazlitt, and it is cognate with that disinterestedness - the ability to respect your opponent's point of view - which he sought to uphold in his writing.
		William Hazlitt is one of the sturdiest, most plain-spoken critics and artists who uphold this form of imaginative freedom.

		William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was one of the best writers of essays in the English language, with a powerful, muscular, and modern prose style.
		In 1820 Hazlitt was 43 and Sarah Walker was 19; Hazlitt, though estranged from his wife, was not yet divorced; and, as becomes clear over the course of the story, Sarah was actually much more worldly than Hazlitt himself.
		The failure of the affair brought Hazlitt to the brink of suicide; writing about it seems to have been his way of pulling himself back towards life by making sense of what had happened to him.

		William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was probably the most distinguished of the non-fiction prose writers to emerge from the Romantic period; an associate of Wordsworth and Coleridge, he went on to write some of the greatest essays in the English language.
		It revealed the whole paradox of Hazlitt's future career as a realistic romantic idealist, born into the Christian faith and still retaining after that faith had evaporated an indelible dye of unworldliness.

		Because Hazlitt died 170-odd years ago and is not as famous as Wordsworth or Coleridge, they assume that he cannot be an easy read, or even less of an easy read than W&C, or that to read him is more of a duty than a pleasure.
		But I also suspect that Hazlitt always thought he could do better, and that was what kept his words on their toes for so long.
		He was the enemy of complacency in himself as well as in others; he certainly fell out with Coleridge and Wordsworth on such grounds, as they abandoned their early attachment to social justice.

		He was born in Maidstone, Kent, the third son of the Reverend William Hazlitt (1737-1820), a Presbyterian minister who embraced rational dissent.
		The elder Hazlitt loved to dispute scriptural texts and championed civil and religious liberty –; even at the risk of his family’s security, for it is likely his liberal sympathies were partly responsible for their removal in 1780 from Maidstone to Bandon in county Cork, Ireland.
		The elder Hazlitt was to be disappointed, however, for in Hackney’s politically-charged atmosphere his son decided against the ministry, although he never lost his father’s tenacity of conviction.
