The Nymphs (poem)
''The Nymphs'' was composed by Leigh Hunt and published in ''Foliage'', his 1818 collection of poems. The work describes the spirits of a rural landscape that are connected to Greek mythology. The images serve to discuss aspects of British life along with promoting the freedom of conscience for the British people. The collection as a whole received many attacks by contemporary critics, but later commentators viewed the poem favourably.
==Background==
During the end of 1816, Hunt began to put together his ideas for a poem that would become ''The Nymphs''.〔Roe 2005 p. 271〕 While working on the poem in 1817, Hunt was staying at the Albion House in Marlow and spent much of his time in the garden or walking through the countryside.〔Roe 2005 p. 299-300〕 During this time, he heard stories of Francis Dashwood and his Hell-Fire Club, which its members spent their time drinking and pursuing women.〔Roe 2005 p. 300〕 The poem was included in Hunt's collection of poems called ''Foliage'',〔Roe 2005 p. 310〕 which was published in early 1818. ''The Nymphs'' was the first poem in the book.〔Blunden 1930 pp. 126-127, 133〕 When Hunt republished ''The Nymphs'' in his collected works, he did not republish portions of the poem possibly because of the themes not matching those found in his other works.〔Blainey 1985 p. 104〕
