George Richards : Songs of the Aboriginal Bards of Britain

Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 25 January - 8 February 1793: 'The man who gaind the last English verse prize in Oxford has since published two odes which he calls Songs of the Aboriginal Britains — of these the Review speaks very well & yet to me who as you know have written upon the same plan these odes appear ill planned & ill executed — some metaphors are good but young Wynns observation is just that he should have mistaken the odes for burlesque.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Robert Southey      Print: Book
