ROBERT LOVELL Poems 1795 Lovell was an early recruit to Southey and Coleridge's 1794-5 scheme to emigrate to America and found an egalitarian commune ('pantisocracy') on the banks of the Susquehanna. In preparation, all three married daughters of the Fricker family of Bristol. But in May 1796 Lovell died, his small contribution to this slim volume all there was to show for a short, creative life. Subsequently Southey and Coleridge quarreled. Poems 1795 now stands as early Southey, first publication of the jacobin and anti-government propagandist who was to become in 1814 the Tory Poet Laureate. £42 $70 Be mine to leave thy path, thy motley crowd, |
