Robert Southey

    12 août 1774 – 21 mars 1843

    Robert Southey était un poète anglais de l'école romantique, reconnu comme l'un des "Poètes des Lacs" et poète lauréat. Son œuvre en vers conserve une popularité durable, bien que sa renommée soit souvent éclipsée par celle de ses contemporains et amis William Wordsworth et Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Southey fut également un érudit littéraire, un historien et un biographe prolifique, qui s'est penché sur la vie et les œuvres de nombreuses figures notables, dont Horatio Nelson, dont la biographie est rarement restée hors d'impression depuis sa publication. De plus, il fut un respecté spécialiste des langues portugaise et espagnole, et sa contribution la plus durable à la littérature est peut-être le classique immortel pour enfants, L'histoire des trois ours, le conte original de Boucle d'or.
