- Sensitive editing, notation, and commentary highlight important topics and themes

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the Romantic Age's most enigmatic figures, a genius of astonishing diversity; author of some of the most famous poems in the English language, and co-author, with Wordsworth, of Lyrical Ballads
; one of England's greatest critics and theorists of literature and imagination; as well as autobiographer, nature-writer, philosopher, theologian, psychologist and
distinguished speaker. Throughout his life, he confided his thoughts and emotions to his notebooks, where we can still see his speculations and observations taking shape. This edition presents a selection from this unique work, newly presented, with notes and commentary, for the student as well as the general reader.
|
Readership: General readers interested in the writings of Coleridge, as well as students and scholars in the field.
