Well, he may be read by school children in GB, nut I seriously doubt that he is in the US. I think the text should be modified to reflect this.
[edit] Removed fragment
I've removed the following fragment as being doubtful in the extreme. He may very well have "denounced free trade and praised the working man", but I think he might still be light years away from being a proto-commie. --Tagishsimon (talk)
- According to the June 1, 2006 airing of Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story, Southey "denounced free trade and praised the working man," making him an early example of a socialist or even communist.
