Rediscovery and Restitution of William Hazlitt

The rediscovery and restitution of William Hazlitt as a canonical Romantic author has been among the latest and most significant developments in present-day Romantic studies.

This volume, a collection of previously unpublished essays by the foremost scholars in the field, presents Hazlitt as a philosophical, and not simply a familiar essayist.

It offers a comprehensive statement of the significance and transmission of Hazlitt's philosophical principles, in his own work and in that of his contemporaries and succeeding writers.

This book is an essential contribution to a vital new aspect of Romantic studies and shows Hazlitt to be, as his memorial claims, The first (unanswered) Metaphysician of the age.
