Robert Southey

    12 agosto 1774 – 21 marzo 1843

    Robert Southey fu un poeta inglese della scuola romantica, riconosciuto come uno dei "Poets of the Lake" e poeta laureato. La sua poesia mantiene una popolarità duratura, sebbene la sua fama sia spesso messa in ombra da quella dei suoi contemporanei e amici William Wordsworth e Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Southey fu anche un prolifico studioso di letteratura, storico e biografo, che approfondì le vite e le opere di molte figure notevoli, tra cui Horatio Nelson, la cui biografia è rimasta raramente fuori stampa dalla sua pubblicazione. Inoltre, fu un rispettato studioso di lingua portoghese e spagnola, e forse il suo contributo più duraturo alla letteratura è l'immortale classico per bambini, La storia dei tre orsi, l'originale racconto di Riccioli d'oro.

    The Story of the Three Bears
    • The story features an old woman who intrudes into the home of three bears, a premise that evolves into the more familiar tale of Goldilocks, a curious little girl. The narrative showcases her adventures as she explores the bears' home, sampling their porridge, chairs, and beds. The third version introduces distinct characters: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear, adding depth to the story. This classic fairy tale has undergone transformations, reflecting changing cultural perspectives and storytelling traditions.

    • Many Lives of Nelson have been written; one is yet wanting, clear and concise enough to become a manual for the young sailor, which he may carry about with him till he has treasured it up for example in his memory and in his heart. In attempting such a work I shall write the eulogy of our great national hero, for the best eulogy of NELSON is the faithful history of his actions, and the best history must be that which shall relate them most perspicuously.
