Combative and insightful, he was close to two generations of romantic poets. His early friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as a young man inspired him to a literary career, but he became disillusioned with them as apostates from the cause of liberty he associated with the French Revolution. As a mature writer, he inspired John Keats and contributed to his thinking about imagination and poetic character. A forceful commentator on contemporary London, he was also a committed radical, whose 'What is the People?' is an almost visionary statement of a new democratic politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Spirit of Controversy\u003c\/em\u003e collects together Hazlitt's most coruscating and influential essays, using versions as they first appeared, including those that originally found their way into print in the cut and thrust of the newspapers and magazines of his day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Hazlitt \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJon Mee\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Eighteenth Century Studies at the University of York.
