has gloss | eng: Roderick the Last of the Goths is an 1814 epic poem composed by Robert Southey. The origins of the poem come from Southey wanting to write a poem discussing Spain and the story of Rodrigo. The poem was originally titled as "Pelayo, the Restorer of Spain" but was later retitled to reflect the change of emphasis within the story. The poem was completed after Southey witnessed Napoleon's actions in Europe, and Southey included his reactions against invading armies into the poem. The poem was successful, and multiple editions followed immediately after the first edition. |
