Robert Southey Boeken
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.
