English poet, critic, and journalist, Hunt was a friend of the eminent literary men of his time, and his home was the gathering place for such notable writers as Hazlitt, Lamb, Keats, and Shelley. With his brother John, Hunt established in 1808 the Examiner, a liberal weekly to which he contributed political articles. Because of an outspoken article casting aspersions on the prince regent, the brothers were imprisoned, but they continued to edit the journal from jail. His literary fame rests chiefly on his miscellaneous light essays, his lyrics and his witty and informative autobiography. A noted dramatic and literary critic, he was one of the first to praise the genius of Shelley and Keats. Contents: Social Morality; Pope in Some Lights in Which He is Not Usually Regarded; Garth, Physicians and Love-Letters; Cowley and Thomson; Bookstalls and Galateo; Bookbinding and Heliodorus; Ver-Vert or The Parrot of the Nuns; Specimens of British Poetesses; Duchess of St. Albans and Marriages from the Stage; Lady Mary Wortley Montagu; Life and African Visit of Pepys; and Life and Letters of Madame De Sevigne.
