Description: James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)Known for his essays, defending romanticism, English poet, journalist, and man of letters; editor of The Examiner (1808 to 1821) and The Liberal; friend of Byron, Keats, and Shelley. While undeniably an essential memoir of Byron, Leigh Hunt's work is equally undeniably a most misbegotten piece of book-making. He began an autobiographical introduction but when that edition was not forthcoming, the project was re-conceived as an autobiographical work. Hunt found writing about himself disagreeable but his publisher advised that the autobiography be reshaped and retitled as Lord Byron and some of his Contemporaries.
