Coleridge's Notebooks by Seamus Perry
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the Romantic Age's most enigmatic figures, a genius of astonishing diversity; author of some of the most famous poems in the English language, and co-author, with Wordsworth, of Lyrical Ballads; one of England's greatest critics and theorists of literature and imagination; as well as autobiographer, nature-writer, philosopher, theologian, psychologist and distinguished speaker. Throughout his life, he confided his thoughts and emotions to his notebooks, where we can still see his speculations and observations taking shape. This edition presents a selection from this unique work, newly presented, with notes and commentary, for the student as well as the general reader.
Every single page of this precious book yields up richesNo one interested in human thought and feeling should be without it. * Stephen Romer, Guardian Review *

A marvellously judged and varied selection. * P J Kavanagh, Spectator, 14 September 2002 *
An invaluable aid for all those interested in this fertile writer's private life. * Contemporary Review *
