Thornton Leigh Hunt, eldest son of James Leigh Hunt and Marianne Kent, was born in London on 10th September, 1810. When Thornton was two years old his father, the editor of the Examiner, was arrested and charged with libel after he published an article criticizing the Prince Regent. Hunt was found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Thornton Leigh Hunt was a journalist and editor, as well as a very close friend of George Henry Lewes, close enough that Lewes named his second child after him. In 1850, the two men co-founded a weekly newspaper, the Leader, to which George Eliot later contributed articles, often as substitutes for ones Lewes was slated to write.
