| Summary | "Hazlitt on English Literature: An Introduction to the Appreciation of Literature" by Jacob Zeitlin is a critical anthology written in the early 20th century. This work aims to celebrate and present the influential writings of William Hazlitt, one of England's greatest literary critics, while providing insights into his critical approach to English literature spanning from the Elizabethan age to the Romantic period. The book seeks to familiarize readers and students with Hazlitt's unique perspectives on literary figures and the broader landscape of literary criticism. The opening of the book includes a preface by Zeitlin, which articulates the dual purpose of the anthology: to evaluate Hazlitt's contributions to literary criticism and to serve as a resource for teaching literature in academic settings. Zeitlin outlines the structured content of the volume, highlighting various critical essays that provide an appreciation of significant English writers and their works. With a focus on Hazlitt's energizing critique, the opening also establishes the anthology's chronological framework, aiming to reveal Hazlitt's personal connections with literature and its authors, enriching the reader's understanding of the critical landscape during Hazlitt's time.
