Robert Southey Books
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.







Many Lives of Nelson have been written; one is yet wanting, clear and concise enough to become a manual for the young sailor, which he may carry about with him till he has treasured it up for example in his memory and in his heart. In attempting such a work I shall write the eulogy of our great national hero, for the best eulogy of NELSON is the faithful history of his actions, and the best history must be that which shall relate them most perspicuously.
