| Description: |
A well-researched and interesting biography of the poet Leigh Hunt. |
| Synopsis: |
During my research on the romantic poet John Keats, one name came to the fore many times - that of (James Henry) Leigh Hunt. He is not spoken of in the same heightened breaths as the great poets of his time, but in fact he seems to me to have been devalued by the genius and fame of those around him. Within the pages of this book, I have endeavoured to place him upon his deserved pedestal. I hope I have been able to present him in a kindly light, for he was a kind, good-natured man, prepared to overlook the faults of those close to him. His exceptional hard work did not bring prosperity for he was always poor; what he received was soaked away by a large family and a dissolute wife. He had what some term a gift - that of viewing life through rose-tinted spectacles. He earned himself a two-year prison sentence when he bravely, if somewhat foolishly, attacked the establishment and the Prince Regent in the pages of The Examiner. It was an experience that damaged him both physically and financially.Hunt, the Georgian, lived to become a Victorian - an age that treated him kindly, the Queen supporting him from her private purse with an apology for his treatment by an earlier establishment. |
