Robert Southey

    August 12, 1774 – March 21, 1843

    Robert Southey was an English poet of the Romantic school, recognized as one of the "Lake Poets" and a poet laureate. His verse maintains enduring popularity, though his fame is often overshadowed by his contemporaries and friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Southey was also a prolific literary scholar, historian, and biographer, delving into the lives and works of many notable figures, including Horatio Nelson, whose biography has rarely been out of print since its publication. Furthermore, he was a respected Portuguese and Spanish scholar, and perhaps his most lasting contribution to literature is the immortal children's classic, The Story of the Three Bears, the original Goldilocks tale.

    • Antologie z díla anglických raných romantiků. Kostru básnického výboru tvoří skladby Preludium W. Wordswortha a Christabel S. T. Coleridge; jejich působivé ladění podtrhuje další přírodní a intimní lyrika obou autorů. Platický obraz tvorby trojice vzájemně spřízněných romantiků dotváří poezie R. Southeye. Útlá avšak obsažná edice mimo jiné vypovídá o trpkých osudech překladatele V. Renče – vychází čtyřicet let potom, co byl rukopis odevzdán do někdejšího československého nakladatelství Odeon.

      Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) a William Wordsworth (1770-1850) jsou dva přední představitelé generace anglické romantické poezie. Takzvaní Jezerní básníci si rozdělili témata své tvorby následujícím způsobem: Coleridge se ujal námětů exotických a „alespoň částečně nadpřirozených“, kdežto Wordsworthovi připadly příběhy ze života prostých lidí, vypovídající o schopnosti přírody „burcovat mysl z letargie zvyku“. Toto vydání přináší různorodý výběr z díla obou básníků v překladu Zdeňka Hrona. Z pera Coleridgeova jsou to především magická veledíla anglického romantismu Píseň o starém námořníkovi, Christabel, a Kublajchan, která tvoří originální jádro jeho básnického odkazu a v Čechách již zdomácněla. Oproti tomu Wordsworth u nás pro samé „revolučně romantické“ zaslepení donedávna mnoho zájmu nevzbuzoval. Četba jeho „diskurzivních veršů“, oné „podzemní hudby“, přitom může být podnětná jak pro čtenáře, tak i pro tvůrce poezie. Probouzí vskutku básnické myšlení zkoumající vlivy krajiny a přírodních jevů na vytváření lidské povahy a básnické obraznosti. Nečekaným půvabem laskají i jeho četné sonety.
