Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2014

William Hazlitt's Spirit of the Age defines the decades that led up to the book's publication in 1825. The younger generation of Romantics has passed, though Wordsworth and Coleridge live on. Hazlitt shows his range here as a critic of literature, the theater, the visual arts, the politics of the day. It is a brilliant book of essays that have the gusto and verve that Hazlitt's prose reveals.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hazliltt the underated
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
William Hazlitt is an underated writer and deserves to be read up close. The opening section on Jeremy Bentham reminds the reader how much about the 18th century has been forgotten and sometimes mis-remembered by our present day selves. Good classic to keep in your Kindle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crashed kindle version
Reviewed in Germany on January 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
This one-star-rating is not for the book itself or its contents, but for the kindle version of this product. I tried every devices I own, Mac, kindle paperwhight, iPad, iPhone, you name it, but it won’t show! All I get is the cover and a blank page. Yes, I tried re-downloading and stuff. But, still. Stupid thing wasted my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic of essay writing, that neglected art that did other things with prose than writing fictions.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
Hazlitt is simply a great prose writer, a modern voice from the nineteenth century who can put both his predecessors and most of his successors in the shade. Read him for his sharp intelligence and for the rare quality of his sentences. He, like Byron in his letters, takes the English language to a new level after the complacent observations and smooth beauties of the eighteenth century.
