In the second decade of the nineteenth century, the British press
began a campaign of critical abuse against Leigh Hunt, caricaturing
the radical journalist as an upstart "Cockney" author whose
literary talents were as disreputable as his politics. Lord Byron,
on the other hand, was revered as a peer and a poetical genius who,
the conservative press argued, would never befriend and collaborate
with a writer like Hunt. Yet Byron did just that. Byron, Hunt, and
the Politics of Literary Engagement is the first full-length study
of the friendship and literary relationship of two of the most
important second-generation Romantic authors. Challenging long-held
critical attitudes, this study shows that Byron and Hunt engaged in
a creative and meaningful dialogue at each major stage in their
careers, from their earliest published volumes of juvenile poetry
and verse satire to their most celebrated contributions to Romantic
literature: The Story of Rimini and Don Juan. Drawing upon newly
recovered letters and unpublished manuscript material, this book
illuminates the surprisingly durable and artistically significant
friendship of Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt.
