James Henry Leigh HuntHunt, James Henry LeighBorn Oct. 19, 1784, in South-gate, Middlesex; died Aug. 28, 1859, in Putney, near London. English publicist and poet. Hunt made his literary debut in 1801 with the anthology Juvenilia. He was a prominent liberal publicist and, from 1808 to 1821, a publisher of the weekly newspaper The Examiner. Hunt attracted such writers as Keats, Shelley, and Hazlitt to contribute to the paper. From 1813 to 1815. Hunt was imprisoned for satirical remarks about the prince regent. After 1832 he ceased his political activities. Hunt’s literary works include romantic poems, such as “The Feast of the Poets” (1814), several plays and novels, and the slanderous memoirs Lord Byron and Some of His Contemporaries (vols. 1–2, 1828). A book of essays on the daily life and mores of London, Men, Women, and Books (vols. 1–2, 1847), is imbued with the spirit of the sentimental idyll.
