Summary "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 10 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays and literary critiques written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on Hazlitt’s contributions to the Edinburgh Review, engaging with topics such as fiction, literary figures, and societal reflections through the lens of literature. It provides a rich commentary on the nature of narrative, storytelling, and the evolution of literature over epochs. The opening of this volume introduces Hazlitt's thoughts on the value of fiction, contrasting its imaginative appeal with the often dry recounting of history. He posits that the narrative arts provide a more engaging insight into human experiences, allowing readers to empathize with fellow beings embroiled in struggles and triumphs. Hazlitt discusses the historical progression of literary forms, the blending of truth and exaggeration in storytelling, and the importance of understanding the past to appreciate the development of fiction in society. This section sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his critiques on various literary works that follow in the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
