Abstract

In this article I attempt to approach the figure of the English writer Henry Kirke White, well known to the readers thanks to the pursues of one the three lakist poets, namely Robert Southey. After a brief reference to the utopian community promoted by Coleridge and Southey, and based on the thought of William Godwin and his work An Enquiry Concerning Political justice (1793), I draw some brief comments on Southey followed by one of the most striking cases of precocity in poetry, parallel in many aspects to others famous poets in spite of his early death (Thomas Chatterton, Arthur Rimbaud, Émile Nelligan, etc.). I translated one of this author‘s most notable poems: "Clifton Grove: A Sketch in Verse".
