on BBC Radio 3

Robert Southey was expelled from Westminster School for founding a magazine called The Flagellant but went on to become one of the most prolific writers of his day. Though
Roderick, the Last of the Goths and The Curse of Kehama may be little read now, Southey's reputation has been perhaps unfairly eclipsed by more famous Romantic poets. Hermione Lee considers the claims of a new biography which attempts to restore his position in history. The programme also includes first-night news of Richard Eyre 's new production of King Lear.
