Description: Hazlitt Painted By Himself And Presented By Catherine Macdonald Maclean is a book written by Catherine Macdonald Maclean. It is a biography of William Hazlitt, a renowned English writer, critic, and philosopher of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book is based on Hazlitt's own account of his life, as presented in his writings and letters, and is supplemented by Maclean's own research and analysis. The book covers Hazlitt's early life, his education, his career as a journalist, his literary works, and his personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Hazlitt's views on politics, society, and culture are also explored, as well as his influence on the Romantic movement in literature. The title of the book refers to a self-portrait of Hazlitt that he painted in 1802, which is included in the book. The portrait is said to capture Hazlitt's introspective nature and his fascination with the human psyche. Overall, Hazlitt Painted By Himself And Presented By Catherine Macdonald Maclean is a comprehensive and insightful biography of one of the most important literary figures of the Romantic era. It offers a unique perspective on Hazlitt's life and work, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in English literature and intellectual history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
