Joseph Cottle and the Romantics
Joseph Cottle of Bristol is best known as the publisher of Lyrical Ballads in 1798. Publisher, editor and author, he was, effectively, the first to publish the work of Wordsworth and Coleridge, Southey and Charles Lamb. He produced an edition of Thomas Chatterton's poems and wrote (rather second-rate) verse epics of his own. His controversial Recollections of Coleridge were notorious for publicizing the poet's opium addiction. His life and correspondence included contact with notables of the period, both inside and outside the literary world: Wesley, Hannah More, the 'milk-maid poet' Ann Yearsley, Humphry Davy, de Quincey, Byron, Mary Russell Mitford and many others. This biography sheds light both on nineteenth-century Bristol and the literary world of the time, and on the emerging Romantic Movement.

With vivid descriptions of battle scenes and engaging character development, this epic poem is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and poetry alike.
