CORRESPONDENCE of Leigh Hunt, supplementing Add. MSS. 38108-38111 noticed above
- Scope & Content:
-
Two volumes. Vol. I (ff. 252), 1807-1844. Vol. II (ff. 277), 1845-1859. The names of the writers are given in the Index. Many of the earlier letters are addressed to Hunt as editor of the Examiner; some of those in 1819 and following years refer to Byron and the Shelleys, including letters of Mary, Shelley, drafts of Hunt's letters to her and to Byron, a letter of E. J. Trelawny to Hunt, a letter of Alessandro Mavrocordato to Byron, etc. In Vol. II (f. 253) is a draft in Hunt's hand of a statement relating to "an alleged attack on me by a friend in one of his novels " [i.e. to Charles Dickens's character Harold Skimpole in Bleak House]. Hunt afterwards used this in a letter to William George Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, see S. Arthur Strong, 'The Kindest-hearted of the Great,' in Critical Studies and Fragments, 1905, p. 169. Part of Strong's printed article is included in the volume, f. 273. Folio.
