Leigh Hunt was an English poet, essayist and editor best remembered as the host of a literary circle which gathered at his home in Hampstead and attracted many well known writers of the day including Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, John Keats, William Hazlitt, Thomas Moore and Charles Lamb. He wrote many letters to various friends including some Epistles in Verse of which those to Byron, Moore, Hazlitt and Lamb are recorded here. He also made translations from Poets of Antiquity (Homer, Theocritus, Anacreon and Catullus) (Summary by Alan Mapstone)
