Robert Southwell bol básnik, kňaz a mučeník, ktorý tvoril v temnom období Anglicka, keď bolo katolicizmus zakázaný. Jeho poézia a próza sú považované za vplyvné pre mnohé osobnosti anglickej literatury, vrátane Williama Shakespeara a Bena Jonsona. Vďaka svojmu presvedčeniu bol za svoju vieru prenasledovaný, mučený a nakoniec popravený.
