[305] Forman wrongly attributes the review of Reynolds’ Peter Bell in The Examiner of April 25, 1819, to Hunt and says that this “flippant notice” by Hunt inspired Shelley’s poem. Ibid., II, p. 288. Reynolds asked Keats to request Hunt to review his poem. Keats did it himself. (Keats, Works, III, pp. 246-249.)
