About this book

In  Robert Southey , Andrews   argues that Robert Southey's denunciation of global Catholicism is essential to understanding his life, works, and times. On this issue, Southey was absolutely consistent in all his work and the Poet Laureate's partisan rhetoric reveals much about the religious culture of this stormy period in England.

Reviews

"Important . . . Robert Southey is more archive than interpretation. But the accumulating detail on the Catholic question also makes a qualitative difference, showing how Southey the poet laureate grew from Southey the poet." - Studies in Romanticism

"The history, politics and religion of [Andrews'] title combine to produce a cogent narrative of Southey's engagement with contemporary debates about Catholic emancipation." - Romanticism

"The history, politics, and religion of his title combine to produce a cogent narrative of Southey's engagement with contemporary debates about Catholic emancipation." - Carol Bolton, Senior Lecturer in English, Loughborough University, UK
