ABSTRACT
From Biographia Literaria, ed. J. Shawcross (2 vols, 1907), i, pp. 45–9. In this third chapter of the Biographia Coleridge recalls the attacks by reviewers upon Southey’s early poems and expresses the hope that these will be remembered by future critics. He offers an eloquent tribute not only to Southey’s literary achievement but also to his personal character.
