		Southey was not in the highest sense of the word a poet; but if we turn from his verse to his prose we are in a different world; there Southey is a master in his art, who works at ease with grace and skill.
		Southey's fame will not rest, as he supposed, on his verse; all his faults are in that -- all his own weakness and all the false taste of his age.

		Southey's marriage was deeply resented by the aunt who had raised him, and late in 1795, to repair the breach he accompanied his uncle on a diplomatic appointment to Spain.
		Mary Shelley and her husband took part all saw Southey as the prime example of literary talent that could be bought.

	Robert Southey: pathos & tragedy by Paul Dean
		Southey made a few close friends, but gained a reputation for indiscipline which came to a head when he published an article in a school newspaper he had helped to start, denouncing floggers as the ministers of Satan.
		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’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.

	The Critical Reception of Robert Southey's _Wat Tyler_ - _Wat Tyler_ - Electronic Editions - Romantic Circles
		Southey's play having been published earlier would have changed the copyright issues attending his request for an injunction; but even so, an 1817 publication with autograph manuscript standing behind it as proof could not have failed to cause a stir.
		Southey has the courage to hold one of these, evidently for the sake of honour, not for the gain; and this it is which exasperates his opponents.
		Southey had even attempted in his first years as Poet Laureate to preserve his status as Poet rather than as versifier-for-hire by stating that he would only write on public events when genuinely inspired to do so.

	Robert Southey: Poetical Works 1793-1810 published by Pickering & Chatto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This major five volume critical edition recovers the early poetry of Robert Southey (1774—1843), a writer who was central to the cultural and political controversies of his own time, but who has been neglected by nineteenth- and twentieth-century critics of British romanticism.
		Southey’s movement from youthful radicalism to middle-aged conservatism is intriguing because it mirrors the path taken by the two writers with whom he was most closely associated, Coleridge and Wordsworth.
		Southey was a multifaceted poet who reflected all the major debates, obsessions and interests of his times.

		Robert Southey was born in Bristol, the son of a draper.
		Southey's acceptance of this post and the change in style of his writing confirmed the shift of his politics to establishment conservative and he was much criticised by his radical contemporaries particularly Peacock and Byron.
		Southey wrote prolifically, both in prose and verse, but his best poetical works are probably his shorter pieces such as My Days Among the Dead are Past, The Battle of Blenheim, The Inchcape Rock, and The Holly Tree.

	[minstrels] The Battle of Blenheim -- Robert Southey
		The Southeys had seven children of their own, and, after Coleridge left his family for Malta, the whole household was economically dependent on Southey for a time.
		In 1813 Southey was appointed poet laureate through the influence of Sir Walter Scott, and in 1835 his government pension of £160, which had been secured for him by Wynn in 1807, was increased to £300 in recognition of his services to literature.
		Southey's last years were clouded by his wife's insanity, by family quarrels resulting from his second marriage after her death (1837), and by his own failing mental and physical health.

	Evans: Robert Southey and the Politics of Heroism
		Southey's endorsement of the peasant uprising in such political times marks him as a notable radical, but his work is by no means singular in its themes.
		Southey's disdain for British attempts to restore the French monarchy is evident throughout the poem in its characterization of the British forces.
		Southey, then, not only presents the British as losing to the French, but as also inferior to them in character; written during a time of British and French conflict, such a presentation seems an endorsement of the French revolutionary project and a critique of British resistance to it.

	General Notes
		Southey was one of the "Lake Poets", and has long been a target of satire.

		Southey was an extreme Tory, but had been a bit of a radical in his youth.

		Nowadays Robert Southey's star burns dimly in the Romantic firmament, but in his own time he was among the best known of English literary figures.
		This serendipitous find among Southey's letters has added one small stone to the edifice of literary history, and we can anticipate that Southey's writings, especially his many unpublished letters, will yet prove a quarry for reconstructing other portions of the neglected fabric of late Georgian literature.

		Southey was an important pioneer of a quintessential and central romantic period form – the annotated exotic verse romance.
		Southey’s ability to revitalise or refashion an individual genre and the implications of that process for our understanding both of romantic period engagements with literary form and of Romanticism also emerge in his use of another form of public (or at least potentially public) poetry – the inscription.
		Southey went on to write a multi-volume history of the conflict in Spain and Portugal, but his peninsular inscriptions offered their readers in a more encapsulated, digestible form a potent reminder of English power, English heroism and French treachery.

		Although Robert Southey more than likely heard Coleridge recite Part I of "Christabel" in 1799, it is not until 11 October 1799 that he speaks of the poem to Coleridge, when he requests "Christabel" for inclusion in the Annual Anthology for 1800:
		The excitement that Southey stirs with his request for "Christabel" is short-lived; work did not continue on "Christabel" until the summer of 1800, and "Christabel" did not, in the end, appear in Southey's 1800 Annual Anthology.
		Similarly, Southey is silent during the hostile reception of "Christabel" once it issues from John Murray's press in 1816.
