The Life of Nelson
Southey, Robert
Book
Southey's life of the hero who saved the nation appeared eight years after the death of Nelson. It has all the fevered urgency of the times when the 'tyrant' troubled men's minds and hearts with his growing power on land and sea, and the possible ultimate invasion of Britain. Southey relies on fact and observation rather than a subjective method in which the writer's own opinions are allowed to intrude, Nelson emerges memorably as a man who befits the hour.
