James Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was an English poet, editor, critic, political writer, and journalist. He and his brother were imprisoned from 1813 to 1815 for their political writing, though they continued to edit their weekly "Examiner" political journal from jail. Hunt is best remembered for his popular light verse and lyrics.
