These four volumes provide fully-edited, meticulously annotated
texts of the poems Southey wrote during the latter half of his
career. These volumes build upon the critical success of Robert
Southey: Poetical Works 1793-1810 and together they form a complete
edition of Southey's poetry. Volume 1 will include Southey's
shorter poems from 1811-38, as well as a number of earlier poems.
Volumes 2-4 constitute the first ever critical edition of the
longer poems written and published in the 1810s, 1820s and 1830s,
including Roderick: Last of the Goths (1814), a best-selling epic
romance. This was a period that was crucial for the forging of his
own reputation, and saw him drawn into highly public, increasingly
embittered controversies with contemporaries such as Lord Byron and
William Hazlitt. This critical edition allows a full reassessment
of Southey's work and his significance to Romantic poetry.
