520 _a"The Collected Works of William Hazlitt, Vol. 08 (of 12)" by William Hazlitt is a collection of essays written in the early 19th century. This volume includes notable lectures on English comic writers, reflections on the English stage, and dramatic essays previously published in 'The London Magazine.' Hazlitt delves into the nature of humor and wit, exploring various authors and aspects of comedy, making this work essential for those interested in literary criticism and humor. The opening of the volume begins with Hazlitt’s introductory lecture on wit and humor, where he examines the complexities behind the concepts of laughter and tears. He suggests that laughter arises from incongruity and the unexpected, while tears reflect deeper emotions and discontent. By using a series of engaging examples and astute observations—ranging from the reactions of children to absurdities in life—he sets the stage for a thoughtful discourse on comedic literature. Hazlitt's approach establishes both a philosophical and practical foundation for understanding humor in the works of literature that follow in this collection.
