Robert Southey was an English poet and part of the romantic school. He served as poet laureate from 1813 until he died in 1843. His legacy is centered around poems like ‘After Blenheim.’ He is also cited as the original author of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”
‘The Complaints of the Poor’ by Robert Southey takes place in a city, likely London, and describes the desperate measures poverty drives people to.
And wherefore do the Poor complain?
The rich man asked of me,—
Come walk abroad with me, I said
And I will answer thee.
‘Poems On The Slave Trade–Sonnet V’ by Robert Southey reveals the mental state of a slave, drenched in agony and flooded with vengeful desires.
