This volume of letters - the vast majority of which are previously
unpublished - presents a remarkable, often moving, and
extraordinary image of the Coleridge family during Samuel Taylor
Coleridge's youth, particularly between 1772 and 1793, when the
writer reached twenty-one. Revealing the strength of a family
suffering repeated losses, James Engell places the Coleridge family
letters in a larger biographical context, and offers a new, frank,
yet sympathetic account of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's life. The
letters provide illuminating insights into the formation of his
adult character and patterns of behaviour, and specific
implications both for his poetry and philosophic temperament. From
a collection in the British Library never before cited, the letters
are primary documents of family and social history. They encompass
STC's formative relationships with his brothers and sister; the
long military service of two of his brothers in India; the
significant role of Molly Newbery, the family nurse; and the
multiple deaths in the Coleridge family, including the suicide of
Samuel Taylor's brother Frank. The Early Family Letters will be
vital reading for anyone interested in Coleridge and English
Romanticism in general.
