A View of the English Stage: Or A Series of Dramatic Criticisms is a book written by the renowned English essayist and literary critic, William Hazlitt. Originally published in 1906, the book is a collection of Hazlitt's critical essays on English drama and theatre, spanning from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. In this book, Hazlitt offers his insightful and often controversial opinions on some of the most prominent plays and playwrights of his time, including William Shakespeare, John Dryden, Samuel Johnson, and David Garrick. He discusses the themes, characters, and language of these plays, as well as their historical and social context, and offers his own interpretations and evaluations of their artistic merit.Hazlitt's writing is known for its wit, passion, and intellectual depth, and this book is no exception. His essays are both entertaining and thought-provoking, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of English theatre during a period of great artistic and cultural upheaval. Overall, A View of the English Stage is a must-read for anyone interested in English literature, theatre, or cultural history, and is a valuable addition to any bookshelf.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
