Description
When William Hazlitt moved into 9 Southampton Buildings, Holborn, England, in August 1820, little did he know that his life would soon be turned upside down. On meeting 19-year-old Sarah Walker, his new landlady’s daughter, as she served him breakfast on his first morning, he conceived a deep infatuation. The intensity of this obsession would eventually lead him to divorce his wife and write the most controversial book of his career, Liber Amoris. Passion, intrigue, love, and deception come together in this intoxicating account of a wild and romantic chapter in the life of a genius.
“A well-written and neatly structured brief account.” —The New Criterion
Jon Cook has written numerous essays, articles, and reviews on the work of William Hazlitt; he is the editor of William Hazlitt: Selected Writings and author of Poetry in Theory.
