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.

      Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) a William Wordsworth (1770-1850) jsou dva přední představitelé generace anglické romantické poezie. Takzvaní Jezerní básníci si rozdělili témata své tvorby následujícím způsobem: Coleridge se ujal námětů exotických a „alespoň částečně nadpřirozených“, kdežto Wordsworthovi připadly příběhy ze života prostých lidí, vypovídající o schopnosti přírody „burcovat mysl z letargie zvyku“. Toto vydání přináší různorodý výběr z díla obou básníků v překladu Zdeňka Hrona. Z pera Coleridgeova jsou to především magická veledíla anglického romantismu Píseň o starém námořníkovi, Christabel, a Kublajchan, která tvoří originální jádro jeho básnického odkazu a v Čechách již zdomácněla. Oproti tomu Wordsworth u nás pro samé „revolučně romantické“ zaslepení donedávna mnoho zájmu nevzbuzoval. Četba jeho „diskurzivních veršů“, oné „podzemní hudby“, přitom může být podnětná jak pro čtenáře, tak i pro tvůrce poezie. Probouzí vskutku básnické myšlení zkoumající vlivy krajiny a přírodních jevů na vytváření lidské povahy a básnické obraznosti. Nečekaným půvabem laskají i jeho četné sonety.
