John and Leigh Hunt's Examiner was arguably the most influential, radical paper in its day. Renowned for its moral earnestness and high-spirited tone, it campaigned unremittingly for freedom of speech and parliamentary reform. This edition reprint the most influential years of the Examiner between 1808 and 1822. An essential source in the study of Romanticism, it will provide scholars and students with a complete set of the weekly issues currently only available in a few select libraries world-wide.
Reviews
‘To recover contemporary resonances and nuances in Hunt’s and Keat’s productions one has to be attuned to the cultural milieu in which they wrote, published, and reached their first readers. The Pickering and Chatto Examiner is an indispensable resource for such information; it is the essential guide to politics and literature in Regency England, containing a wealth of material that contributed to the vibrancy of Cockney Culture. The reappearance of the Examiner is sure to have a far-reaching and positive effect on Romantic Studies: all college and university libraries should invest in this edition.’
