Biographical History
English poet, literary scholar, historian and biographer.
English poet and man of letters.
English poet and men of letters.
Southey was an English poet and prose writer; Josiah Conder was an English poet; and Joanna Baillie was a Scottish dramatist.
Southey was an English author and Poet Laureate of England from 1813 to 1843.
Robert Southey's earnest, inventive, diverse and prolific career as poet and historian earned him the respect of his Romantic contemporaries, the contempt of his Victorian heirs, and a sort of fuzzy nostalgia today. Poet laureate of England for thirty years, his reputation today is of a scholar who read rather than experienced, who crafted rather than created, and much of his writing seems lifeless and hackneyed as a result.
English poet, literary critic, historian and biographer.
English poet.
Robert Southey (1774-1843), poet and man of letters, was expelled from Westminster School for a protest against flogging, but proceeded in 1792 to Balliol College, Oxford, where he pursued his studies without interference and began Joan of Arc . He was visited there by Coleridge and converted by him to unitarianism and pantisocracy. He was twice married, first to Edith Fricker, who died in 1837, then in 1839 to Caroline Bowles. After visiting Spain and Portugal he settled at Keswick, where he remained and wrote extensively. He became poet laureate in 1813 and was friendly with Wordsworth. For a full assessment of his life and work see the Dictionary of National Biography

Biographical Note: Robert Southey, English author and poet laureate, was born in 1774.
Southey witnessed a period of social reform in England, but remained opposed to Catholic emancipation. In 1820, Southey published "Life of Wesley," a history of Methodism. Southey's "Book of the Church," a history of the Church of England, was published by John Murray in 1824. Two eminent Catholics, John Milner and Charles Butler, published responses in defense of Catholicism. Southey answered their criticisms by publishing "Vindiciae Ecclesiae Anglicanae (The Book of the Church Vindicated and Amplified)" in 1826. In 1836, John Murray, former Member of Parliament from Leeds, proposed that a new church, St. Johns's, be built in Keswick. The Bishop of Carlisle approved Murray's proposal, and Southey was asked to serve as a Trustee. Southey died at Greta Hall, Keswick, in 1843.
Robert Southey was born in Bristol on 12 August 1774. He was educated at schools in Corston and Bristol before being sent to Westminster School in 1788. He entered Balliol College, Oxford in 1792 after he was expelled from Westminster for denouncing flogging in a school magazine, The Flagellant . In 1794 Southey wrote the play that belied his then republican spirit, Wat Tyler . The play was published without Southey's consent in 1817. By then Southey had become a supporter of the Tory government.
In 1795 Southey journeyed to Spain and Portugal. That year saw the publication of his epic poem Joan of Arc . On his return to England in 1797, Southey entered Gray's Inn, London, but only for a brief period, before moving to Westbury in June 1798 and then to Burton, Hampshire in 1799. He was appointed secretary to Isaac Corry, the chancellor of the Irish exchequer c 1801. In 1803 Southey moved to Greta Hall, Keswick where he stayed with his family for the remainder of his life.
In 1809 Robert Southey joined the staff of the Quarterly Review and wrote regularly for the periodical until 1839. From 1809 to 1815 he edited and principally wrote the Edinburgh Annual Register . Southey wrote several books including, The Book of the Church Vindicated (1824), Sir Thomas More (1829) and Lives of the British Admirals (1833). Southey was appointed Poet Laureate in 1813. To commemorate the death of King George III in 1821, he wrote his poem A Vision of Judgement . In 1820 the University of Oxford created Southey DCL and in June 1826 he was elected MP for Downton, Wiltshire, but was disqualified for not possessing the necessary estate. Southey died in Keswick on 21 March 1843.
