The essay reads Hazlitt’s two major Liberal essays as explorations of the dark side of liberalism and simultaneously as exercises in Romantic irony, that is sceptical interventions on the viability of liberalism in the 1820s which could only be articulated in a truly liberal and independent journal. Accordingly, the essay reflects on the underestimated role of the Italian location of the journal in the critic’s broad cultural agenda of the Regency period.

Abstract

The essay reads Hazlitt’s two major Liberal essays as explorations of the dark side of liberalism and simultaneously as exercises in Romantic irony, that is sceptical interventions on the viability of liberalism in the 1820s which could only be articulated in a truly liberal and independent journal. Accordingly, the essay reflects on the underestimated role of the Italian location of the journal in the critic’s broad cultural agenda of the Regency period.
