What is Robert Southey : a life about?

Robert Southey Was A Figure Of Major Importance On The Literary And Political Scene From The 1790s Until His Death In 1843. He Lived Through The French Revolution, The Napoleonic Wars, The Dawn Of The Industrial Age And The Coronation Of Queen Victoria, Was The Contemporary And Friend Of Coleridge And Wordsworth, Admired And Vilified By Byron And Hazlitt, The Foremost Man Of Letters Of His Day. Yet So Far Has His Reputation Been Eclipsed By That Of His Better-known Peers That Even The Correct Pronunciation Of His Name (to Rhyme With 'mouthey', As Byron Joked) Has Been Forgotten. This New Biography Tells The Fascinating Story Of A Complex And Contradictory Man, The Mirror Of His Age, And Sets Him Centre-stage To Provide A New Perspective On Familiar Events And Figures. Early Years 1774-1792 -- Oxford 1792-1793 -- Coleridge And Pantisocracy 1794-1795 -- Prospects 1796-1799 -- 'poetry Is My Province' 1799-1803 -- Man Of Letters 1803-1809 -- 'the Moral Order Of Things' 1809-1814 -- 'books, Children, Leisure' 1814-1819 -- 'my Proper Station' 1819-1824 -- 'the Dream Of Life' 1824-1843.
