William Hazlitt (1778-1830) developed a variety of identities as a writer: 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.

About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

This volume gathers together some of the most brilliant and influential essays ever written in English. Hazlitt was close to two generations of romantic poets. Early friendship with Coleridge and Wordsworth inspired him to a literary career, but he became disillusioned with their political apostasy. He inspired Keats and contributed to his thinking about the poetic character. A forceful commentator on London, he was also a committed radical, whose 'What is thePeople?' is a visionary statement of a new democratic politics. The Spirit of Controversy uses versions of the essays as they first appeared, including those originally printed in the cut and thrust ofthe magazines of his day.
