Abstract

William Hazlitt, a major romantic literary critic, expressed contempt for the pedagogic categories of traditional rhetoric. Largely neglected by students of parliamentary discourse, Hazlitt is nonetheless an original and brilliant rhetorical critic. His criticism represents a distillation of the romantic attitudes of his age, and is founded upon the substitution of a charismatic model for the technical and mechanical model of speech composition.
