"The Life of Horatio, Lord Nelson" by Robert Southey is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book chronicles the life and illustrious career of Admiral Horatio Nelson, focusing on his early years at sea, formative experiences, and notable adventures that shaped him into one of Britain’s greatest naval heroes. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to Nelson's humble beginnings in Norfolk, England, where he was born into a large family. His early ambition to go to sea is sparked by his uncle's naval career, leading him to join the RAISONNABLE at the tender age of twelve. The opening provides a glimpse into his formative years, characterized by moments that reveal his daring spirit and commitment to adventure, despite his physical frailty. From navigating complex early naval experiences to his courage in the face of danger, Nelson's character begins to emerge, setting the stage for the grand exploits that would later define his legacy.
