The collected works of William Hazlitt, ed. by A.R. Waller and A. Glover. 12 vols [and] Index

Published between 1902 and 1906 by J.M. Dent & Co. in London and McClure, Phillips & Co. in New York, this edition represents a monumental scholarly effort to consolidate the sprawling journalistic and essayistic output of William Hazlitt. Edited by A.R. Waller and Arnold Glover, the set was designed to be the definitive scholarly reference for Hazlitt's work at the turn of the 20th century. It includes an introduction by W.E. Henley, a critic who admired Hazlitt’s vigorous prose style and central position in the Romantic canon.

The design of the edition reflects the Edwardian era's penchant for substantial, library-bound multi-volume sets intended for serious academic and private study. The editors sought to recover lost or previously uncollected essays, organizing them by thematic and chronological merit. While the print run was intended for a niche audience of scholars and enthusiasts of Romantic literature, the edition is widely regarded today for its high editorial standard, which laid the foundation for subsequent Hazlitt scholarship throughout the 20th century.
