Robert Southey fue un poeta inglés de la escuela romántica, reconocido como uno de los "Poetas del Lago" y poeta laureado. Su verso mantiene una popularidad duradera, aunque su fama a menudo se ve eclipsada por la de sus contemporáneos y amigos William Wordsworth y Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Southey también fue un prolífico erudito literario, historiador y biógrafo, que profundizó en las vidas y obras de muchas figuras notables, incluido Horatio Nelson, cuya biografía rara vez ha estado fuera de impresión desde su publicación. Además, fue un respetado erudito portugués y español, y quizás su contribución más perdurable a la literatura sea el clásico infantil inmortal, La historia de los tres osos, el cuento original de Ricitos de Oro.







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.
