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 of 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 - enabled 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 with issues including affect, materiality
and self-identity. Coleridge's poetic thinking, Jones argues, both
consolidates and radicalises the current literary critical
rediscovery of form.
