Robert Southey: Later Poetical Works, 1811–1838 cover

Central to any reappraisal of Southey’s mid to late career, is 'Roderick'. This best-selling epic romance has not been republished since 1838 and is contextualised here within Southey’s wider oeuvre. The four-volume edition also benefits from a general introduction, volume introductions, textual variants, endnotes and a consolidated index.

'All students of Romanticism will have cause to rejoice in Fulford and Pratt's magisterial four-volume edition ... provides an exhaustive, critically annotated corpus of Southey's poetic career ... an indispensable resource for Southey scholars for years to come.' The Year's Work in English Studies 'there is no doubting the editorial skill on display throughout, or the scholarly importance of the achievement.' Times Literary Supplement 'It is difficult to see how this scholarly and all-embracing edition can be superseded.' Review 19 'the authoritative texts and scholarly apparatus [provide] invaluable new materials for [Southey's] re-establishment as a major figure in the literary landscape of his day.' The Wordsworth Circle 'the definitive Southey edition for generations to come.' BARS Bulletin
