| adam_text | Over the course of a Literary career that extended from the lingering Malthusian
controversies of the late eighteenth century to the brink of the Reform Act of 1832,
William Hazlitt produced a remarkable body of committed radical journalism. Against
the view that partisan passion undermined his aesthetic judgment and compromised
his celebrated disinterestedness, William Hazlitt: Political Essayist restores politics
to the center of his achievement as a critic and essayist. In doing so, Kevin Gilmartin
explores his constructive relationship with the early nineteenth-century popular
reform movement, while acknowledging his desire to reflect critically on radical
politics and express his own doubts about social progress. Early chapters attend
closely to Hazlitt s critical method and matters of style and form, focusing on the
political development of his contradictory prose manner. Paradox and inconsistency
are central to his attack on Legitimacy,” a term he drew from the Lexicon of post-
Napoleon ic political journalism. In treating legitimate government as a revived form
of divine right monarchy, Hazlitt often produced harrowing visions of the perfect
refinement of oppressive power and the complete elimination of any principle of
liberty or resistance. At the same time he found ways to preserve his commitment
to oppositional political expression and the redemptive necessity of what he termed
“a word uttered against. Later chapters bring together the spiritual heritage of
rational Dissent and emerging democratic developments in London to understand
Hazlitt s distinctive mobilization of radical memory as a way of contending with
present injustice and envisioning a political future.
Kevin Gilmartin is Professor of English
Literature at the California Institute
of Technology.
