Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Life of Robert Southey: 1774-1803 There has been no adequate detailed biography of Southey. Charles Cuthbert Southey, who compiled a Life and Correspondence of his father, was not qualified for his difficult task. Selections from the poet´s published letters have given the leading circumstances especially of the later life, but the only approximation to a sympathetic and intelligent biography has been the characteristic sketch by the late Edward Dowden in the "English Men of Letters Series." At the same time, although it is long since many persons have read any of Southey´s writings except The Three Bears, The Life of Nelson, The Battle of Blenheim My Days Among the Dead are Past, and perhaps one or two other short pieces, a curiously positive, largely disagreeable and distorted impression of the man has persisted in the popular imagination. That impression I have small hope at this late day to correct, and no desire completely to reverse. My purpose is merely to supply students with a faithful account of the most interesting and least known period in the life and work of an important English writer of a momentous time in history.
