• Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) was a British writer and editor of The Examiner (1806-1821). He was sent to prison for two years in 1813 for attacking the Prince Regent. Hunt was not a political journalist, but the general tone of The Examinerwas unsympathetic to the Tories. Hunt is remembered as an excellent journalist and critic, as a major poet, and for his recognition of Shelley and Keats. John Keats (1795-1821) was a British poet considered among the greatest in English. The boy Keats was fortunate in the kindness and friendship of the headmaster's son. Charles Cowden Clarke was eight years older than Keats to poetry. The Clarke family were admirers of Leigh Hunt's radical weekly, The Examiner.Keats, too, read The Examinerand continued to do so until his death. Clarke introduced Keats to Leigh Hunt. Keats's sonnets, melodic and rich in classical imagery, include "Written on the Day that Mr. Leigh Hunt Left Pison." In this paper the author will suggest a technique for reading Kearts's sonnet in order to get the most we can from it. The Petrarchan sonnet continues an octave with the rhyme pattern abbaabba and a sestet the rhyme pattern cdcdcd. This is also called Italian sonnet. This paper examines the symbols and imagery of "lark", because Keats writes "Hunt, in his immortal spirit, has been as free and elate as the sky-searching lark." The author in this paper analyzes Keats's views that Hunt is the greatest poet belonging to Edmund Spenser(1552?-1599) and John Milton (1608-1674).
