Manuscripts
A collection of letters written by Robert Southey to William Taylor, British scholar, essayist, and translator. The collection also includes two letters to James Everett and a letter by John Warden Robberds. Three of the letters by Southey include autograph copies of his poems, "The Wedding," "Inscription Under an Oak," and "King Ramiro." The letters discuss many of the important people of the period including, among others, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Sir Humphry Davy, Charles Lamb, Walter Savage Landor, Napoleon I, Sir Walter Scott, and William Wordsworth. Also included is the original separated binding, with the William K. Bixby bookplate; all of the material in the collection is still window-mounted on paper.
