The book is a romantic story that follows the protagonist, Hazlitt himself, as he falls in love with a woman named Sarah Walker. The novel is a first-person account of Hazlitt's infatuation with Sarah, who he describes as his Pygmalion. The story is set in the early 19th century and explores the themes of love, obsession, and the power of beauty. Hazlitt's love for Sarah is all-consuming, and he becomes increasingly obsessed with her as the novel progresses. He describes her in great detail, admiring her beauty and intelligence, but also acknowledging her flaws and imperfections.The novel is written in a highly personal and introspective style, with Hazlitt reflecting on his own emotions and motivations throughout the story. He also explores the nature of love and desire, and the ways in which they can both inspire and torment us.Overall, Liber Amoris Or The New Pygmalion is a powerful and moving novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the depths of human emotion. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of romantic literature, as well as those who appreciate a well-written and thought-provoking story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
