Table Talk by William Hazlitt
Original Essays
A lively collection of conversational essays in which the writer offers candid, opinionated reflections on literature, art, theater, critics, and social character. With a pungent, aphoristic style he defends individual taste and feeling against pedantry, mixes personal anecdote with close reading of poetry and drama, and attacks hypocrisy in public life and literary culture. The pieces range from acute theatrical and poetic criticism to intimate reflections on friendship, conscience, and the pleasures of honest conversation.
