Epithet: essayist and poet

James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was an essayist and poet. For full details of his life and achievements see the Dictionary of National Biography
Leigh Hunt, English poet, journalist, and literary critic.
Leigh Hunt was an English poet, essayist, literary critic, journalist, translator, editor and prose writer during the early nineteenth century. He spent two years in prison, from 1813 to 1815, after slandering the Prince Regent in an Examiner editorial. Hunt was the editor of the Examiner from 1808 until 1821.
British poet, journalist, and literary critic.
English essayist and poet Leigh Hunt was born on October 19, 1784 in Southgate, Middlesex, England.
Hunt began to write poetry when he was still a boy, some of which his father published in an 1801 volume titled Juvenilia . In 1808 Hunt and his brother John started the Liberal newspaper the Examiner, for which Hunt wrote on various subjects for the next thirteen years. One of Hunt's pieces for the Examiner, a critical article about the Prince Regent, led to a libel conviction and a two year prison sentence in 1813. While writing for the Examiner, Hunt also continued to write poetry, publishing several volumes of poems, including The Story of Rimini in 1816. In addition to his own work, Hunt was also the friend and publisher of many other literary minds of his day, including George Gordon Byron, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Through these friendships, Hunt influenced the English Romantics. Hunt passed away on August 28, 1859.
