Leigh Hunt
![Leigh Hunt; portrait by [[Benjamin Haydon]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/James_Henry_Leigh_Hunt_by_Benjamin_Robert_Haydon.jpg)
Hunt co-founded ''The Examiner'', a leading intellectual journal expounding radical principles. He was the centre of the Hampstead-based group that included William Hazlitt and Charles Lamb, known as the "Hunt circle". Hunt also introduced John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson to the public.
He may be best remembered for being sentenced to prison for two years on charges of libel against the Prince Regent (1813-1815).
Hunt's presence at Shelley's funeral on the beach near Viareggio was immortalised in the painting by Louis Édouard Fournier. Hunt inspired aspects of the Harold Skimpole character in Charles Dickens' novel ''Bleak House''. Provided by Wikipedia
