	Leigh Hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Hunt's refined critical perception had detected the superiority of Geoffrey Chaucer's versification, as adapted to the present state of the language by John Dryden, over the sententious epigrammatic couplet of Alexander Pope which had superseded it.
		Hunt was, he said, "the very soul of truth and honour." G.K. Chesterton suggested that Dickens "may never once have had the unfriendly thought, 'Suppose Hunt behaved like a rascal!'; he may have only had the fanciful thought, 'Suppose a rascal behaved like Hunt!'" (Chesterton 1906).
		Leigh Hunt's character as an author was the counterpart of his character as a man. In some respects his literary position is unique.

	A Biographical Sketch by blupete: Leigh Hunt (1784-1859).
		Hunt's prison term was not as one might imagine it; he was not confined to one small dingy room to live on water and bread and to stare continuously at a brick wall with a small barred window.
		Hunt himself, it seems, was faithful to Marianne, a simple woman and by whom he had numerous children; but his young poetic friend, Percy Bysshe Shelley was ready to get it on with any attractive woman who happened to be in his company and had a little time on her hands.
		Hunt's door was always open to his friends; at the right moment he may be caught at his supper and the recommendation by Hunt would be immediately made to partake of his fare, "dried fruit, bread, and water." Most visitors came away appalled by the thriftless gypsiness of the Hunts' chaotic household.

	'A Natural Piety': Leigh Hunt's The Religion of the Heart
		By that time Hunt had already written Christianism in which he had developed his ideas of ‘glimpses of happiness’ and ‘cheerfulness’, and in the letter he invites Elizabeth to read the work in manuscript form, as he is induced to believe that this would help her.
		Hunt’s strongest point throughout the book is his belief in a general sense of goodness in people, his philosophy of the cheer that personally helped him through many difficult years, and the recent death of Vincent.
		Hunt’s work supplied its readers with a religion that was uncomplicated by doctrine, rich in emotion and replete with optimism, a precious commodity for most in the wake of the atheism, despondency, and pessimism which followed a failed revolution in France and an America that was steeped in the buying and selling of slaves.
