Dr Frederick Knight Hunt (1814-54) re-visited: medical man and journalist.
This paper studies Knight Hunt's career after he lost control of the Medical Times, and shows how he was brought to the notice of Charles Dickens who made him a sub-editor on the Daily News in 1845 and subsequently selected him as a pivotal contributor to Household Words, a post he gave up only when he became editor of the newspaper in 1851.
