 ROBERT SOUTHEY - LoveToKnow Article on ROBERT SOUTHEY
Southeys love of romance appears in various volumes: Amadis of Gaul (4 vols., 1803); Palmerin of England (1807); Chronicle of the Cid (1808), and The byrth, lyf and actes of King Arthur.
Southeys age was bounded, and had little sympathy for anything beyond itself and its own narrow interests; it was violently Tory, narrowly Protestant, defiantly English.

 Robert Southey: pathos & tragedy by Paul Dean
Southey’s aunt cast him out when he finally nerved himself to tell her of his plans, and to add that, impecunious as he was, he had become secretly engaged.
Southey, however, was repelled by this idea: “I deny the necessity of an established faith, and of a religious establishment.” He considered medicine and the Civil Service, before his imagination was fired by a utopian dream of an island community, self-supporting and self-governing, naturally virtuous and philosophic in outlook.
Southey is the forgotten man of English Romanticism, whose poems were little studied until recently even by specialists, and, while available in facsimile, had never been edited on modern principles.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Southey, Robert
One of her friends was married to John Newbery, the publisher of children& literature, and Southey was presented with a complete set of his works, a gift which helped give him a ‘love of books, and … [a] decided determination to literature’.
Southey revised his poetical works for a final ten-volume collected (not complete) edition published by Longmans in 1837-8.
Southey’s efforts were not confined to miscellaneous shorter works.

 A Biographical Sketch by blupete: Robert Southey (1774-1843).
As for Southey: well, he progressed with his thoughts and was to come to realize that when men are forced to change the result is blood and misery; best, he concluded in time, and after some soul searching -- to let things be, that things will unfold naturally as they ought to unfold.
Southey was a lifelong dog lover and had in succession, as Paul Johnson observed, pointers called Rover and Dapper.
As the passing times were to show, Coleridge was less upset with Southey because of the aborted ideas of their youth, but continued to bear a grudge because (so Coleridge thought) Southey had forced Coleridge to marry a girl that he did not love.

 [minstrels] The Battle of Blenheim -- Robert Southey
Southey also did translations, edited the works of Thomas Chatterton, and worked on the epic poem Madoc (1805) and completed the epic Thalaba the Destroyer (1801).
In his introduction to A Vision of Judgement (1821), Southey continued the quarrel by denouncing Byron as belonging to a "Satanic school" of poetry, and Byron replied by producing a masterful parody of Southey's own poem under the title The Vision of Judgment (1822).

 General Notes
The only Southey writings still widely read are a few lyrics, a beautifully lucid short Life of Nelson (1813), and -- a piece so widely loved and often retold that it has lost its connection with its author and acquired the status of an anonymous "fairy tale" -- the story of The Three Bears.
Time has dealt harshly with Robert Southey, for he is remembered mainly for his close association with poets greater than himself and for Byron's brilliant lampoons in Don Juan and The Vision of Judgement.
He attended Oxford, was for a short time a fervent supporter of the French Revolution, and wrote an epic and two dramas inspired by that event.

 Biographical Note on Robert Southey - Wat Tyler - Electronic Editions - Romantic Circles
By the end of January 1795, Southey was forced to face disappointment on all counts: Wat Tyler was not published, the proposed emigration to America looked doomed to failure, and his friendship with Coleridge was becoming increasingly strained.
The result was a growing radicalism; alongside Westminster's curriculum of Latin and Greek, Southey sought out the works of Rousseau, Voltaire, and Goethe.
Shortly after leaving Oxford, Southey crossed paths with the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

 Evans: Robert Southey and the Politics of Heroism
Southey's negative portrayal of Henry was disturbing enough to one reader to elicit a poetic response--"Lines Written by Anna Seward, After Reading Southey's `Joan of Arc'" (appeared in The European Magazine in 1797, Bennett 198-99)--defending Henry and the British against Southey's charges of cruelty.
Significantly, Southey is careful to present Tyler in a more positive light than David Hume's History of England does, a relevant portion of which was published with one edition of the poetical drama itself.
Though it ends with the crowning of a French king, this epic's insistence on the importance of social equality and the dangers of oppressive monarchy goes beyond favoring the French over the British to make a general statement against monarchal governance that is in keeping with the thrust of much reformist poetry.

 The Critical Reception of Robert Southey's _Wat Tyler_ - _Wat Tyler_ - Electronic Editions - Romantic Circles
Those who hate the government in Church and State naturally enough wish to make all public offices disgraceful, and, in particular, they attempt to render those ridiculous, which are merely of an elegant nature and ornamental to the crown.
Coleridge...has taken up the Cudgels; and of injudicious defenders he is surely the Master Leader...He does nothing in simplicity, and his praise is to me quite disgusting—his praise of the 'Man' Southey in contradistinction to the 'Boy' who wrote 'Wat Tyler'" (Wordsworth 379-380).
Between 1789 and 1799, at least four hundred and fifty plays were written, translated, or produced that invoked the idea of revolution or revolt (Manogue, Critical Edition, v).

 Biography, life and poetry of Robert Southey, one of the Lake Poets
The only drawback is the poet's egotism, which was inordinate, and the hasty, uncharitable judgments sometimes passed on his contemporaries, the result partly of temperament and partly of his seclusion from general society.
In these works the amiable private life of Southey, his indefatigable application, his habitual cheerfulness and lively fancy, and his steady friendships and true generosity, are strikingly displayed.
Southey and some of his school associates started a periodical called "The Flagellant," in which they published a sarcasm upon corporal punishment.
