The Life of Horatio, Lord Nelson, Paperback/Robert Southey

Originally published in 1813, The Life of Horatio, Lord Nelson is one of the classics of early biography. The author, Robert Southey , was appointed Poet Laureate of England in the same year he published this book. Still regarded as England's greatest naval hero, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson is here depicted by a contemporary biographer, with access to many of the people who knew Nelson intimately. Our edition has been carefully edited by popular novelist and naval historian J.T. McDaniel, and includes a new Introduction and copious notes, making this one of the best modern editions of Southey's classic work.
