Reviews
... a major reassessment of Hazlitt, developed through a brilliant and highly original form of close reading. James Grande, Review of English Studies
Gilmartins scrupulous range of scholarly reference ... furnishes the interested reader with a virtual intellectual history of Hazlitt scholarship over the past three-quarters of century, and enrolls the reader in an ongoing seminar, with much back-and-forth between older established views and highly nuanced differences of opinion between newer, fresher interpretations. Kenneth R. Johnston, The Wordsworth Circle ... a major reassessment of Hazlitt, developed through a brilliant and highly original form of close reading. James Grande, Review of English Studies
... a major reassessment of Hazlitt, developed through a brilliant and highly original form of close reading. * James Grande, Review of English Studies * Gilmartin's scrupulous range of scholarly reference ... furnishes the interested reader with a virtual intellectual history of Hazlitt scholarship over the past three-quarters of century, and enrolls the reader in an ongoing seminar, with much back-and-forth between older established views and highly nuanced differences of opinion between newer, fresher interpretations. * Kenneth R. Johnston, The Wordsworth Circle * Thoroughly researched and referenced, including well-reproduced illustrations, the book does credit to the author's academic mentor, the late Marilyn Butler, to whom the work is dedicated. It also provides a timely reminder of the possibilities of the political essay. * Neil Fitzgerald, Times Literary Supplement *
