Summary: "The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 05 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of lectures on English poetry and dramatic literature from the early 19th century. This volume primarily examines the works of various poets, particularly focusing on their techniques and contributions to English literature. The collection serves both as a critical analysis of significant poets and an exploration of the nature and impact of poetry in relation to human experience and emotion. The opening of the volume introduces Hazlitt's reflections on poetry itself, where he asserts that it embodies the natural impressions of objects and events, stirring emotions through vivid imagery and sound. He believes that poetry is not a trivial pastime but rather an essential language that connects humanity to nature and reflects deep feelings of joy, sorrow, and every emotion in between. Hazlitt emphasizes the universality of poetry, arguing that it is intrinsic to human experience and accessible in even the simplest of forms, setting the stage for a deeper analysis of individual English poets in the subsequent lectures.
