| Summary |
"The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 12 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays and writings likely composed in the early 19th century. This volume features a range of topics reflecting Hazlitt's personal observations and critiques on various aspects of life, literature, and society. It embodies Hazlitt's signature style—rich, engaging prose that often intertwines philosophical musings with sharp social commentary. The opening of this volume presents a vibrant narrative that sets the stage for Hazlitt's explorations. It begins with a detailed account of the author's anticipation and excitement about attending a boxing match, a reflection of the social dynamics of the time. As he navigates his way to the fight, Hazlitt provides insights into the characters he encounters, their interactions, and the atmosphere of eager anticipation among spectators. Through lively descriptions and humorous asides, he captures the essence of the event, while also hinting at deeper philosophical themes concerning human nature, competition, and the spectacle of public life. The beginning establishes a tone that invites readers into Hazlitt's distinct worldview, making them eager to delve further into the essays that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
