Description
The aim of this study is to resolve discrepancies and correct errors in previous biographies and to attempt to fill serious and long-existing gaps in the story of Hazlitt's life. It is based on 25 years of research carried out in six countries. The author uncovers facts about the background and history of Hazlitt's second wife and identifies seven additions to Hazlitt's canon and several letters. A profusion of details are brought together to fill in the daily life of one of the most important figures of the Romantic period.
