Inhaltsangabe

Wat Tyler: A Dramatic Poem is a work of historical fiction by the English poet Robert Southey. It was first published in 1817 and tells the story of the 14th-century English peasant rebellion led by Wat Tyler. The rebellion was sparked by the harsh conditions faced by the common people of England, who were oppressed by the ruling class and burdened by taxes and other forms of exploitation.The play follows the character of Wat Tyler, a charismatic leader who rallies the peasants to rise up against their oppressors. The play also features other historical figures, including King Richard II and his courtiers, who are portrayed as corrupt and out of touch with the needs of the people.Throughout the play, Southey explores themes of social justice, political power, and the struggle for freedom and equality. He also delves into the complexities of leadership and the challenges faced by those who seek to effect change in a society that is resistant to it.Wat Tyler: A Dramatic Poem is considered one of Southey's most significant works and is notable for its political commentary and historical accuracy. It remains a popular work of literature and continues to be studied and analyzed by scholars and students of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robert Southey (12 August 1774 - 21 March 1843) was an English poet of the Romantic school, and Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death. Like the other Lake Poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Southey began as a radical but became steadily more conservative as he gained respect for Britain and its institutions. He is remembered especially for the poem "After Blenheim" and the original version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".
