Liber Amoris

Liber Amoris

by William Hazlitt

Liber Amoris is a deeply personal and unflinching account of William Hazlitt's obsessive infatuation with a young woman. The work goes beyond a typical love story, delving into the depths of Hazlitt's emotional turmoil and self-destructive tendencies. Through raw and unfiltered introspection, Hazlitt lays bare the complexities of his desires, anxieties, and ultimately, his painful realization of the futility of his pursuit. Liber Amoris is not a comfortable read, but it is a powerful and unsettling exploration of the destructive force of passionate love and the human condition.
