Ewan James Jones argues that Coleridge engaged most significantly
with philosophy not through systematic argument, but in verse.
Jones carries this argument through a series of sustained close
readings, both of canonical texts such as Christabel and The Rime
of the Ancient Mariner, and also through less familiar verse such
as Limbo. Such work shows that the essential elements of poetic
expression - a poem's metre, rhythm, rhyme and other such formal
features - enable Coleridge to think in an original and distinctive
manner, which his systematic philosophy impeded. Attentiveness to
such formal features, which has for some time been overlooked in
Coleridge scholarship, permits a rethinking of the relationship
between eighteenth-century verse and philosophy more broadly, as it
engages issues that include affect, materiality and self-identity.
Coleridge's poetic thinking, Jones argues, both consolidates and
radicalises the current literary critical rediscovery of form.
