4.9/5 (33564 ratings)

Description:A modern renaissance in Coleridge criticism - pioneered in part by several of the essays collected here - delivered the creator of "Kubla Khan" and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from the burden of his former reputation as failed poet, woolly philosopher, idle table-taker, genius destroyed by opium.In this volume, an international group of distinguished critics, including I. A. Richards, Herbert Read, L. C. Knights, and Elisabeth Schneider, presents lively and decisive evidence that Coleridge's brilliant achievements in poetry, literary criticism, and the psychology of the imagination, far from being mere offshoots of his friend Wordsworth's creative impulse, had their roots in a mind of extraordinary fertility and independence. Considering Coleridge's poetry and criticism within the context of his wide-ranging sensibility - one that eagerly encompassed the Greek philosophers, seventeenth century English examination as rigorous and as nearly unbalancing as Swift's - these writers analyze the themes and imagery of the poetry, the sensitivity and toughness of the observation, and the masterful techniques which established Coleridge as one of those rare men of learning and creative power for whom the title "man of letters" can only be an admiring approximation.
