Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Robert Southey, Vol. 1 of 5: With a Memoir
The most effective portrait, in the part of his memoirs written by himself, is that of his Aunt Tyler. It is evidently drawn from the life, and would answer for a character in the very best class of modern novels. As a revelation of himself, the most excellent traits are the disposition, spirit, and state of feeling, displayed. Southey obviously pos sessed steady affections, self-respect, and a natural sense of duty. The embryo reformer is indicated by his essay against ?ogging in school; and no bet ter proof of his reliability can be imagined, than the fact that several of his earliest friendships continued unabated throughout life. His sketches of teachers, classmates, and the scenes of boyhood.
