Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Table Talk is a collection of essays and conversations by the renowned English essayist and literary critic, William Hazlitt. The book is a compilation of Hazlitt's thoughts on various topics, including literature, art, philosophy, politics, and everyday life. The essays are written in a conversational and engaging style, making them accessible to readers of all backgrounds and interests. Hazlitt's writing is known for its wit, insight, and originality, and Table Talk is no exception. The book is a testament to Hazlitt's intellectual curiosity and his ability to engage with a wide range of subjects. Whether he is discussing the merits of Shakespeare's plays, the nature of love, or the politics of his time, Hazlitt's writing is always thought-provoking and entertaining. Table Talk is a must-read for anyone interested in English literature, philosophy, or cultural history.We hear it maintained by people of more gravity than understanding, that genius and taste are strictly reducible to rules, and that there is a rule for everything. So far is it from being true that the finest breath of fancy is a definable thing, that the plainest common sense is only what Mr. Locke would have called a mixed mode, subject to a particular sort of acquired and undefinable tact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
