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.
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.

For much of British history, kings and queens have taken oaths on
the Bible as they were coronated. Symbolically perhaps, President
George Washington swore on an open Bible, establishing a new
American tradition. For Washington, the Bible was opened at random,
and many of his successors followed suit. Others have chosen
specific verses or books of the Bible. The reasons for a particular
choice are as varied as the men who have occupied the office.
interestingly enough, more than twice as many have chosen Old
Testament verses as New Testament ones, and the Psalms have been
used more than any other book. Perhaps the position of the Psalms
at the centre of many Bibles explains the choice; triumphant
Presidents choosing joyful texts is another explanation. Every
American president from Washington through Clinton is discussed.
Religious diversity and ferment characterize the period that gave
rise to Romanticism in England. It is generally known that many
individuals who contributed to the new literatures of the late
eighteenth century came from Dissenting backgrounds, but we
nonetheless often underestimate the full significance of
nonconformist beliefs and practices during this period. Daniel
White provides a clear and useful introduction to Dissenting
communities, focusing on Anna Barbauld and her familial network of
heterodox 'liberal' Dissenters whose religious, literary,
educational, political, and economic activities shaped the public
culture of early Romanticism in England. He goes on to analyze the
roles of nonconformity within the lives and writings of William
Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert
Southey, offering a Dissenting genealogy of the Romantic movement.
