English essayist William Hazlitt demonstrates the inseparable connection between laughter and tears in this extraordinary collection of lectures. Proposing that both comedy and tragedy are intensely concerned with the human condition, Hazlitt examines the similar foundations of the two, making his case with his characteristic eloquence and verve.
