Robert Southey: Entire Man of LettersYale University Press, 1 de jan. de 2006 - 305 páginas In his lifetime Robert Southey was very much the equal of his fellow 'Lake poets,' Coleridge and Wordsworth, but since his death his reputation has been overshadowed by their success. In this biography W. A. Speck argues that if Southey's poetry is no longer considered as significant, his other writings were more salient and his political views far more influential than those of his fellow poets. The book engages with Southey's voluminous publications, weaving discussion of them into the narrative of his life. |
