Robert Southey: Poetical Works 1793–1810 cover

This edition of Robert Southey's early poetry seeks to restore Southey the poet to his place at the centre of late 18th and early 19th century British literary culture. This collection of his poetical works critically reassesses Southey's epics and romances.

'A stellar critical edition ... the editorial matter is scrupulous, informative, and generative, resulting in a rich scholarly resource that should now be the long-needed standard edition' Panel of the MLA Prize for a Distinguished Scholarly Edition, 2005 'A superb edition ... essential.' CHOICE 'This formidable new edition of Southey's poetry forces us to reconsider our indifference to this former colossus...editors have painstakingly restored a multidimensional aspect to this often caricatured and unjustly neglected figure, enabling a generation of scholars to begin picking up the pieces.' Times Literary Supplement 'A triumphant achievement' The Independent 'This is an important and authoritative publication and one that will surely serve as a key scholarly resource for many years to come.'
