Leigh Hunt, an influential English critic, essayist, and poet, co-founded The Examiner, promoting radical ideas in literature. He was pivotal in the Hampstead circle, engaging with notable figures like William Hazlitt and Charles Lamb. Hunt played a crucial role in introducing literary giants such as John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley to the public. His attendance at Shelley's funeral was famously depicted in art, despite historical inaccuracies. Additionally, Hunt's character inspired Harold Skimpole in Dickens' "Bleak House."
