赫兹利特《初识诗人记》简说

A BRIEF COMMENTARY ON HAZLITT＇ S MY FIRST ACQUAINTANCE WITH POETS

“赫兹利特《初识诗人记》简说”一文，概要地评释英国散文家和批评家赫兹利特的记叙文杰作《初识诗人记》（1823年）的内容和风格，指出：赫兹利特在作品中忠实而热情地回忆自己于1798年二十岁时认识青年诗人柯尔律治和华滋华斯的经过；他着意记述柯尔律治的言和事，强调其辩才和评判力；他反映了他和柯尔律治在青年时代的友谊，他在创作上受过柯尔律治的启发，以及他对哲学和文艺的兴趣和敏感；他叙事写景，很有诗情画意；他的文辞，鲜明、生动、有力。

The majority of Hazlitt＇s essays deal with his personal experiences, his adventures in life and art. There were few important circumstances of his life which did not interest him so well as to find their way to his pen. It was but natural that he should recount such a turning point in the history of his mental development as his first meeting with the joint-authors of the Lyrical Ballads.
