Reading Leigh Hunt Anew

James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was one of the most prolific and influential writers on British culture and politics in the first half of the nineteenth century. “Reading Leigh Hunt Anew” will investigate in great depth Hunt’s interactions and networks. “Reading Leigh Hunt Anew” consists of two tightly interrelated projects on Hunt, one of the key figures of the Romantic period in England, known for his work as editor, journalist, poet, and facilitator. The first is an online database devoted to Hunt’s critical writings called “The Leigh Hunt Archive”, which will enhance accessibility and usability of Hunt’s works (along with an experimental exhibition component). The second part of this research program is a new book entitled “Reading Leigh Hunt’s Critical Essays Anew through Digital Humanities Tools”.
