The purpose of this series is to promote the study of writing in
the English language through the introduction of the major figures
writing in English throughout the ages. They provide an analytical
and historical framework for understanding their subjects. Samuel
Taylor Coleridge has a special place in literature. Intrigued by
metaphysics and science, he also produced some of the most
beautiful lyrics of the Romantic period. So sweeping was his need
to know - everything - he is often accused by his critics of losing
sight of the particular, or failing his incredible poetic and
critical gifts. Even so, Coleridge produced the "Biographia
Literaria" - a key text in understanding Romanticism. His criticism
of Shakespeare's work has founded modern Shakespearean studies. A
sympathetic account of Coleridge's troubled life - his difficult
marriage, his addiction to opium and his famed "inefficiency" -
this student guide draws attention to the vast endeavour of his
intellectual and artistic work, enabling the reader to understand
this most beguiling and paradoxical figure.
