To Samuel Taylor Coleridge, tragedy was not solely a literary mode,
but a philosophy to interpret the history that unfolded around him.
Tragic Coleridge explores the tragic vision of existence that
Coleridge derived from Classical drama, Shakespeare, Milton and
contemporary German thought. Coleridge viewed the hardships of the
Romantic period, like the catastrophes of Greek tragedy, as stages
in a process of humanity's overall purification. Offering new
readings of canonical poems, as well as neglected plays and
critical works, Chris Murray elaborates Coleridge's tragic vision
in relation to a range of thinkers, from Plato and Aristotle to
George Steiner and Raymond Williams. He draws comparisons with the
works of Blake, the Shelleys, and Keats to explore the factors that
shaped Coleridge's conception of tragedy, including the origins of
sacrifice, developments in Classical scholarship, theories of
inspiration and the author's quest for civic status. With cycles of
catastrophe and catharsis everywhere in his works, Coleridge
depicted the world as a site of tragic purgation, and wrote himself
into it as an embattled sage qualified to mediate the vicissitudes
of his age.
