Essay Excerpt

"Americans who came across William Hazlitt’s The Spirit of the Age when it was first published in 1825 might have had good reason to be disturbed by what they read. Surveying the prominent cultural currents of the early nineteenth century, Hazlitt declared that: ‘The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievements.’ The United States, however, had been in existence for barely half a century and, as its inhabitants were frequently forced to acknowledge, the infant republic’s artistic accomplishments were correspondingly rudimentary."
