This new volume demonstrates the extent and diversity of Coleridge's writings on the sublime. It highlights the development of his aesthetic of transcendence from an initial emphasis on the infinite progressiveness of humanity, through a fascination with landscape as half-revealing the infinite forces underlying it, and with literature as producing a similar feeling of the inexpressible, to an increasing emphasis on contemplating the ineffable nature of God, as well as the transcendent power of Reason or spiritual insight.

While postcolonial studies of Romantic-period literature have
flourished in recent years, scholars have long neglected the extent
of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's engagement with the Orient in both his
literary and philsophical writings. Bringing together leading
international writers, Coleridge, Romanticism and the Orient is the
first substantial exploration of Coleridge's literary and scholarly
representations of the east and the ways in which these were
influenced by and went on to influence his own work and the
orientalism of the Romanticists more broadly. Bringing together
postcolonial, philsophical, historicist and literary-critical
perspectives, this groundbreaking book develops a new understanding
of 'Orientalism' that recognises the importance of colonial
ideologies in Romantic representations of the East as well as
appreciating the unique forms of meaning and value which authors
such as Coleridge asscoiated with the Orient.
