William Hazlitt (1778-1830) was an essayist, critic, painter, and philosopher. In this 1977 study, R. L. Brett draws attention at the outset to the biographical standpoint which Hazlitt always adopts in his writings on literature and the arts, and recalls that Hazlitt considered the essay form as 'ideally fitted to approach life with a method that is concrete and particular, rather than a priori and theoretical'.A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts.

First published in 1969, this book provides a concise and helpful introduction to the terms ‘fancy’ and ‘imagination’. Although they are generally associated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the work begins with a discussion the history of these concepts which were also known to Aristotle, the Elizabethans, Hobbes, Locke and Blake. It then goes on to examine Coleridge’s theory of imagination and the distinction he drew between fancy and imagination. This work will be of particular interest to those studying Coleridge and the Romantic Movement.
