William Godwin's Diary

Hunt, Leigh James Henry

  • Name: Hunt, Leigh James Henry
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date: 19  October  1784
  • Death Date: 28  August  1859
  • Occupation: journalist
  • Occupation: literary critic

This identification seems fairly straightforward - G usually specifies L or J Hunt, and for the 2-3 times he fails to do so it seems reasonable to assume that it's Leigh Hunt as Leigh appears far more in the diary than John. Godwin also has two entries to Henry 'Orator' Hunt (1773-1835), the radical politician who appears as 'H Hunt'. Although he only appears twice he is a significant enough figure to merit a code.

We have assumed that references to plain 'Hunt' are to John's brother Leigh Hunt, since L. Hunt features substantially more frequently than does J or 'Hunt'.
