Sinopsis

Hazlitt the Dissenter is unique in providing the first book-length account of HazlittâÇÖs early life as a dissenter, and how this shaped his literary apprenticeship until 1816. Each chapter draws on a substantial body of new material - including a range of previously unattributed writings by Hazlitt and his father - to offer fresh readings of important early writings. Its multidisciplinary approach, chronological focus, and appreciation of denominational difference and theological nuance make it invaluable reading for anyone interested in literary and religious history on both sides of the Atlantic. As the first multi-disciplinary account of HazlittâÇÖs early literary career, it provides a new insight into the literary, intellectual, political and religious culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Challenging the prevailing critical understanding ofáHazlitt as a âÇÖRomantic essayistâÇÖ or âÇÖradical journalistâÇÖ, Hazlitt the Dissenter presents an innovative portrait of one of the great English prose writers.
