First published in 1983, this book examines a work whose
intricacies have baffled and infuriated generations of readers and
proposes a theory of Coleridge's writing habits that "explain(s)
his explanation". The author painstakingly analyses the
Biographia's organising structure distinguishing between the daring
conception and often inept execution of Coleridge's idea of
critical discourse. It is argued that Coleridge's autobiographical
format present a richly metaphorical "self" whose literary life has
led to the now-famous doctrine of secondary imagination. The
author's command of Coleridge scholarship will shed new light on
the Biographia for specialists and non-specialists alike.
