ABSTRACT

Godwin, Cloudesley (1830); review by William Hazlitt, Edinburgh Review, LI (April 1830), 144–159. Hazlitt, in the year of his own death, surveys the life work of his mentor and friend, who was to live to produce three more full length books, including another novel. Hazlitt’s remarks on the trials of “an author by profession” (pp. 146–147) were a personal cry of anguish.
