    Open AccessLynda PrattARTICLELiterature Compass2010References: 1

    This article focuses on Robert Southey, Romantic period poet, biographer, essayist, editor, self‐editor, Poet Laureate, bibliophile and, at the outset of the twenty‐first century the subject of two major on‐going editions. And yet, until the past half‐decade, Southey has not received the sophisticated scholarly editing that his canonical contemporaries (and even some newly canonical contemporaries) have. Southey is thus not only a necessary subje…

With a mere handful of notable exceptions, such as William Wordsworth’s Prelude , Romantic long poems—or at least lo…

  • Revising the National Epic

    Open AccessLynda PrattARTICLERomanticism1996

    Coleridge is not known as Southey's greatest defender, indeed he is possibly his most influential critic, and he had been quick to dismiss his friend's first attempt at a long poem, Joan ofArc (1796), as the work of a poet who wrote 'too much at his ease' (CL, I, p. 320.). However, what is most astonishing here is not so much who, but rather what, he singles out for especial praise. Southey's long poem Madoc was launched on an unsuspecting public…
