Robert Southey

    12 augustus 1774 – 21 maart 1843

    Robert Southey was een Engelse dichter van de romantische school, bekend als een van de "Lake Poets" en Poet Laureate. Zijn vers behoudt blijvende populariteit, hoewel zijn roem vaak wordt overschaduwd door die van zijn tijdgenoten en vrienden William Wordsworth en Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Southey was ook een productief literatuurwetenschapper, historicus en biograaf, die zich verdiepte in de levens en werken van vele opmerkelijke figuren, waaronder Horatio Nelson, wiens biografie sinds de publicatie zelden uit druk is geweest. Bovendien was hij een gerespecteerde Portugese en Spaanse geleerde, en misschien is zijn meest blijvende bijdrage aan de literatuur de onsterfelijke kinderklassieker, Het verhaal van de drie beren, het oorspronkelijke Goudlokje-verhaal.

    The Story of the Three Bears
    • The story features an old woman who intrudes into the home of three bears, a premise that evolves into the more familiar tale of Goldilocks, a curious little girl. The narrative showcases her adventures as she explores the bears' home, sampling their porridge, chairs, and beds. The third version introduces distinct characters: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear, adding depth to the story. This classic fairy tale has undergone transformations, reflecting changing cultural perspectives and storytelling traditions.

    • 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.
