Summary "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 07 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays and literary critiques likely written in the early 19th century. This volume features a rich array of Hazlitt's reflective and passionate prose, focusing on themes such as the nature of poetry versus prose, the insights of dream psychology, and the conversation styles of authors. Hazlitt is recognized for his acute observations and often innovative commentary on literary style and human psychology. At the start of this volume, Hazlitt explores the distinctions between the prose of poets and prose writers, critiquing how the former often struggles with rhythm and coherence when departing from verse. He illustrates this discussion with references to various authors, analyzing how their unique styles affect their communication and the reader's experience. Additionally, the opening essays touch on the complexity of dreams and their interpretative challenges, underscoring Hazlitt's interest in the intersection between literature and the human psyche. Through his incisive commentary, Hazlitt sets the tone for a collection that promises to engage readers with its depth and critical insight into literary expression and thought.
