Abstract

Robert Southey (1774-1843) was a prolific and celebrated poet, author, journalist and commentator on public affairs. But research on Southey's later poetry (and the violent responses it provoked at the time of its publication) has been hampered by the lack of a modern critical edition. These volumes provide fully-annotated and edited texts of the poems Southey wrote in the latter half of his career, allowing a full reassessment of Southey's work and significance.
