Notes

Based on Life and Corresp. of Southey ed. C.C. Southey (1849-50) and J. Simmons, Southey (1945). Southey’s voluminous correspondence has been extensively published, notably in Selections from Letters of Southey ed. J.W. Warter, 4 vols. (1856); Corresp. of Southey with Caroline Bowles ed. E. Dowden (1881); and New Letters of Southey ed. K. Curry (1965). Good biographies include G. Carnall, Southey and his Age (1964) and K. Curry, Southey (1975). Recent experiments in rehabilitation are M. Storey, Robert Southey: A Life (1997) and W.A. Speck, Robert Southey: Entire Man of Letters (2006).
