ABSTRACT

Byron, Childe Harold, IV (1818); review by William Hazlitt, Yellow Dwarf, May 2, 1818, pp. 142–144. The block quotations in the first column are from Shakespeare’s I Henry IV (I.iii.42–45) and Wordsworth’s “Lines left upon a Seat in a Yew-tree” (lines 55–59). Hazlitt strongly resents Byron’s attacks on Napoleon, Hazlitt’s personal hero.2336
