Viewing Samuel Taylor Coleridge's pursuit of continental
intellectualism through the lens of cosmopolitanism, Maximiliaan
van Woudenberg examines the so-called 'German Mania' of the writer
in the context of the intellectual history of the university. At a
time when the confessional model of Oxbridge precluded a liberal
education in England, van Woudenberg argues, Coleridge's pursuit of
continental methodologies and networks encountered at the
University of Goettingen anticipated the foundation of the modern
von Humboldt research-university model. Founded by the Hanoverian
rulers of Great Britain, this cosmopolitan institution of knowledge
successfully fostered cross-cultural interchange between German and
British intellectuals during the latter half of the eighteenth
century. van Woudenberg links the origins of Coleridge's engagement
with European intellectualism to his first encounter with the
innovations of a Reform university during his studies at the
University of Goettingen in 1799, a period that many critics and
biographers believe spoiled his poetry. Drawing on hitherto
unexamined primary records and documents in German Kurrentschrift,
this study shows Coleridge to be a visionary whose cross-cultural
dissemination of continental intellectualism in England was ahead
of its time and presents an intriguing episode in Cosmopolitan
Romanticism by a major canonical figure.
