The Feast of the Poets
''The Feast of the Poets'' is a poem by Leigh Hunt that was originally published in 1811 in the ''Reflection''. It was published in an expanded form in 1814, and revised and expanded throughout his life (see 1811 in poetry, 1814 in poetry). The work describes Hunt's contemporary poets, and either praises or mocks them by allowing only the best to dine with Apollo. The work also provided commentary on William Wordsworth and Romantic poetry. Critics praised or attacked the work on the basis of their sympathies towards Hunt's political views.
==Background==
In 1811, Hunt began a magazine called the ''Reflector'', which carried poetry and other literature. One of the works that he submitted was ''The Feast of the Poets''. The work was intended as an update of the 17th century tradition of "Sessions of the Poets", a satirical portrayal of contemporary poets both good and bad. In 1813, James Cawthorn, a publisher, asked Hunt to complete a full length edition of the poem that would include both an introduction and notes to the work. Hunt began to work on the poem and the work was soon expanded.〔Roe 2005 pp. 125–126, 201〕
In January 1814, the work was published and well received by Hunt's friends. The new edition was dedicated to Thomas Mitchell and it ended with a sonnet that was dedicated to Thomas Barnes, both friends of Hunt.〔Roe 2005 p. 203〕 The poem would be revised throughout Hunt's life, including an edition in 1815.〔Holden 2005 pp. 53, 79〕
