Leigh Hunt's contributions to English literature, although
downplayed for several decades, are now acknowledged by scholars as
key to our understanding of the Romantic period. He was not only a
facilitator - in his support for the poetry of Shelley and Keats
for example - but was also a major contributor in his own right to
the literary and political world of the nineteenth century.
Underscoring the literary innovations in his writing during the
first three decades of the nineteenth century, this text focuses on
the selected works that complement the current view of Hunt as a
Romantic writer and show the independence in his critical approach
and use of poetic language. With an episodic, chronological
approach, this is an important reassessment of Hunt's substantial
contributions to several different genres, providing a fascinating
account of the significant impact of his works on audiences during
the Romantic period.
