This book is the first in-depth investigation of Coleridge's
responses to his dreams and to contemporary debates on the nature
of dreaming, a subject of perennial interest to poets, philosophers
and scientists throughout the Romantic period. Coleridge wrote and
read extensively on the subject, but his richly diverse and
original ideas have hitherto received little attention, scattered
as they are throughout his notebooks, letters and marginalia.
Jennifer Ford's emphasis is on analysing the ways in which dreaming
processes were construed, by Coleridge in his dream readings, and
by his contemporaries in a range of poetic and medical works. This
historical exploration of dreams and dreaming allows Ford to
explore previously neglected contemporary debates on 'the medical
imagination'. By avoiding purely biographical or psychoanalytic
approaches, she reveals instead a rich historical context for the
ways in which the most mysterious workings of the Romantic
imagination were explored and understood.
