Author of Biographia Literaria (1817) and The Friend (1809-10, 1812
and 1818), Samuel Taylor Coleridge was the central figure in the
British transmission of German idealism in the 19th century. The
advent of Immanuel Kant in Coleridge's thought is traditionally
seen as the start of the poet's turn towards an internalized
Romanticism. Demonstrating that Coleridge's discovery of Kant came
at an earlier point than has been previously recognized, this book
examines the historical roots of Coleridge's life-long
preoccupation with Kant over a period of 20 years from the first
extant Kant entry until the publication of his autobiography.
Drawing on previously unpublished contemporary reviews of Kant and
seeking socio-political meaning outside the literary canon in the
English radical circles of the 1790s, Monika Class here establishes
conceptual affinities between Coleridge's writings and that of
Kant's earliest English mediators and in doing so revises
Coleridge's allegedly non-political and solitary response to Kant.
