WHEN I first became acquainted with the writings of William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt now above thirty years ago I was at once forcibly struck with the tone of their criticism on to their merits as theatrical books and authors \ not speak of and art-critics, and essayists on life and manners. Their lite- rary criticism appeared to me to be more appreciative, more original and suggestive and to show more insight into, and sympathy with, the spirit of the writers reviewed, than any that I had previously read. It was distinguished from that of the recognised authorities in this department of literature by its greater warmth, geniality, and acuteness, and by a discrimina- tion and heartiness of treatment not to be found in the pages of previous critics. It had also an additional charm for me, in the personal recollections and associations with which it was often interwoven. I could not be blind to the faults of temper and offences against good taste which occasionally these critics but their mar the beauties of two ; cordiality, or " what may be called ^^/-recognition," as distinguished from mere intellectual or "//^^/-appreciation," of the beauties of our great writers, amply atoned for any blemishes and defects. The perusal and re-perusal of their volumes brought benefits for which I have never ceased to be grateful. It stimulated in me an ardent desire to become acquainted with the authors about whose works they discoursed with so much sympathy and loving enthusiasm Chaucer, Spenser, Shakespere, and the Elizabethan dramatists the writers \ great prose who succeeded them ; the poets, wits, and play-writers of the latter half of the seven- teenth the century ; essayists and novelists of the days of Anne and the first two Georges; and the new school of poetry and thought which followed upon the first French Revolution. The leisure at my command in those days was but scanty, and did not enable me to profit so much as I could have wished by the valuable guidance afforded me in the works of these critics. But spare hours were economised and made the most of. Nulla dies sine lined. In this way, new and unex- pected sources of enjoyment were opened to me as, year by year, I became more intimate with the authors criticised. I also read with avidity everything which was published relating to the genius and characteristics of these two writers and their works. Gradually I became possessor of all the writings of Hazlitt and Hunt, and was in the habit of lending them to friends with tastes similar to my own. As their entire works comprise more than eighty volumes (Hazlitt's numbering be- tween thirty and forty, and Hunt's above fifty) some of them long out of print, and difficult to be met with it often occurred to me to make a chronological list of them, indicating the con- tents of each, with the view of printing it for my own use and that of my friends. The appearance, last year, of Mr. Procter's (Barry Cornwall) " " pleasing Memoir of Charles Lamb again brought before the public the names of William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt, as two " of the intimate friends and companions of Elia." My long- list their works was revived cherished desire to print a of ; but now it included not merely the contents of each work, but also a selection of contemporary opinions regarding their authors. In thinking of the numerous sources from which these opinions might be gathered, I recalled many beautiful tributes to their memory and genius by distinguished contemporaries and friends. Some of these were so remarkable for their just ap- preciation, acuteness, and generous feeling, that I considered it would be doing a service to exhume them from the news- ix [ ] papers and magazines in which most of them lay buried. There were also scattered about through scores of volumes, scarcely ever opened by the most adventurous reader, many special contemporary notices of the various works themselves, which were worthy of being rescued from oblivion. In bring- ing these materials together, I found them to be more abundant than I expected. When I made known my project to one or two literary friends, they were pleased to say, that to readers and admirers of Hazlitt and Hunt, my proposed list of their works might be found very useful. I was advised not to limit my design to a few copies struck off for private circulation, but to print a small edition which might at least be procurable by those who wished to possess it. This suggestion has been acted upon. The writings of William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt deserve to be much better known than they are by the present genera- tion. Many readers are entirely ignorant of their existence; or, if they have perchance heard of the names of these authors, they imagine them to have been merely ephemeral litterateurs, whose works did not possess sufficient merit to preserve them from oblivion. Had Hazlitt and Hunt been literary critics and essayists only, and not also political writers with earnest convictions, there can be little doubt that their merits would have long since been widely recognised and acknowledged, and their position in the field of letters much more established and conspicuous than it now is. Owing to their strenuous advocacy of political views totally opposed to those of the dominant party of the day their resolute independence, and uncompromising out-spokenness they were assailed by the two leading organs of the Tory press with a ferocity and un- scrupulous malignity almost incredible to the present genera- " tion. As they had wilfully placed themselves in collision from the first with all the interests that were in the sunshine of this world, and with all the persons that were then powerful in England," the intrinsic merits of their literary productions were entirely ignored or, rather, the appearance of these productions furnished occasion to the editors of the organs in question to pour out upon their authors the vilest abuse, and to hold up them and their works to public odium and " disgust. The object and effect of this literary ruffianism" were undoubtedly to disparage these writers, and prevent the public from reading their works, and judging for itself. The critical verdicts of the periodicals referred to had great weight in those days, and were accepted by the great majority of the reading public as infallible. These unworthy and shameless attacks limited the circulation of the works against which they were directed to a comparatively small circle, and are quite sufficient to account for the tardy recognition of their merits by the public. Such were the lengths to which party feeling was allowed to go in those days (1815 to 1830), and such the degradation to which men of culture and ability could stoop in order to carry out the objects of political animosity ! In order to bear me out in what has been said on this subject, and to justify the strong expressions used, a few pages have been devoted to a selection of passages from these malignant attacks, so that the reader can judge for himself whether, in my characterization of them, I am chargeable with exaggera- tion.

  • John Keats (P. 788) Literary Analysis (P. 789)
    “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” John Keats John Keats (p. 788) (1795-1821) Those who leave a lasting imprint on the world do not always live long. When the life of a groundbreaking figure is cut short, it leaves the world asking, What more might this person have achieved, if only he or she had lived longer? John Keats is such a figure. Although he died at age twenty-five, Keats left his indelible mark on literature, and this makes us wonder what more he might have accomplished had he lived longer. A Defender of Worthy Causes Unlike his contemporaries Bryon and Shelley, John Keats was not an aristocrat. Instead, he was born to working-class Londoners. As a child, he received attention for his striking good looks and his restless spirit. Keats developed a reputation for fighting, but always for a worthy cause. It was not until he and his school-master’s son, Charles Cowden Clarke, became friends that Keats developed an interest in poetry and became an avid reader. From Medicine to Poetry In 1815, Keats began studying medicine at a London hospital. He had already begun writing poetry, but he earned his pharmacist’s license before abandoning medicine for the literary world. In 1818, he published his first major work, Endymion, a long poem that critics panned. Their negative reviews were due in part to Keats’s association with the radical writer Leigh Hunt. The reviews also reflected the uneven quality of the verse itself. Despite the critical rejection, Keats did not swerve from his new career.

    John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy.

  • POPULARIZING CHAUCER in the NINETEENTH CENTURY by Charlotte C
    POPULARIZING CHAUCER IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY by Charlotte C. Morse Charles Cowden Clarke (1787–1877), Charles Knight (1791–1873), and John Saunders (1810–1895) were the most effective boosters of Chaucer’s common readership before the university in the mid-1860s took over the care and promotion of Middle English language and literature, includ- ing Chaucer.1 All three popularizers came of age in the wake of the French Revolution, which reinforced and magnified whatever nationalist impulses were already at work in nascent pan-European Romanticism. Ideas of a people united by shared culture rather than by allegiance to a king made the invention and promotion of a literary tradition a desideratum for every nation. Thanks especially to J. G. Herder, the nationalism produced by and in reaction to the French Revolution gave language a newly impor- tant role in defining the nation and granted exceptional political value to the nation’s literary and folk culture for its capacity both to unify and to stimulate continuing negotiation with tradition, essential to the per- petuation of the national community.2 In England the Revolution exerted contrary pressures, to reaction or to reform. Those in favor of reform understood that the political class, those with political rights, had to expand. Some asserted literacy as a basic human right.3 In this yeasty atmosphere, Cowden Clarke and Knight came of age; Saunders came to manhood in the run-up to the Reform Bill of 1832. All three identified with the reformist politics of the early decades of the century, when Henry Brougham, later Chancellor, led the parlia- mentary committee that aimed to improve mass education in England.4 The three popularizers believed that Chaucer’s poetry, like Shakespeare’s drama, should belong to all Englishmen.

The book contains a series of essays, written at dif- ferent times, printed separately in different places, and collected, substantially, in a book called The Poetry of Tennyson, which was fortunate enough to find many friends, and has now, I believe, gone out of print.
