Abstract

Tim Fulford's edited volume "Robert Southey: Lives of Labouring-Class Poets" sheds light on Southey's celebration of labourer-poets like Thomas Dermody, Henry Kirke White, and Lucretia Maria Davidson. Southey's classification of poets into different categories based on social class and talent anticipates later Marxist historians' perspectives. The book explores Southey's views on literary burnout, education, and the challenges faced by working-class poets. Fulford's project highlights Southey's literary activity during the Age of Reform and offers insights into the intersection of work, politics, poetry, and class in the Victorian era.
