These two volumes record these lectures, which discussed a variety of topics such as taste, education, superstition, and the Dark Ages in Europe, and which also reflected Coleridge's central concerns as a critic. ...

Product Description
Coleridge's "Shorter Works and Fragments" brings together a number of substantial essays including his "Theory of Life", "Treatise on Method", "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit", "On the Passions", and "On the Prometheus of Aeschylus". To these are added over 400 other pieces, some of them fragmentary, many of them previously unpublished. As might be expected, the subject matter includes literature and language, theology, philosophy, politics and science, but many less-predictable topics, such as child labour laws and marriage, also appear. By gathering this material and presenting it in chronological order, this text reveals the development and major characteristics of Coleridge's variety. ... Read more

Ageless visions in prose and circumstances in timeless words
Coleridge was on the romantic side of poetry, however, when reading Kubla Khan, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner, you can't help but think there was some what of an explorer, an adventuristic style in his words that, save opium, had no way to bud a grow with all around hearts-a-bursting. I liken Pablo Neruda to Coleridge, their visions, love, and spirit's ferosity seem to have been forged from the same mettle. Grecian Urn, Nightingale and others should all be required reading for the young. I guarantee there would be a lot more wonder, and a little more love in this world. ... Read more

Here are his earliest extant teenage poems, his masterly meditative pieces, and the extraordinary "Kubla Khan", "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", and "Christabel".The poems are printed, so far as possible, in chronological order, with Coleridge's own notes as well as textual and bibliographical notes by the editor.Amazon.com Review
"Kubla Khan." "The Rime of the AncientMariner." "The Eolian Harp." Samuel Taylor Coleridgewas a genius who wrote some of the greatest poems in the history ofthe English language. Together with his friend WilliamWordsworth, he provided the best articulation of Romanticism, aswell as some of the most powerful examples of that aesthetic.Thiscollection, from the excellent Everyman's Library Pocket Poets series,includes not only Coleridge's poetry, but also some selections fromhis insightful essays and letters about poetry.But of course, it'sthe poems that count the most, as evidenced by this excerpt from oneof Coleridge's less legendary works, his beautiful tribute "ToWilliam Wordsworth," which was written after hearing his friendgive an especially moving reading. These sentiments could easily applyto the author himself: "The tumult rose and ceased: for Peace isnigh / Where Wisdom's voice has found a listening heart." ... Read more

"Where Alph the sacred river ran through caverns measureless to man/ down to a sunless sea
I have a special fondness for these 'Everyman Collections'. There are of course many other 'selected poems editions' of the most notable English language poets, but the 'Everymans' have a compactness about them I like. They contain selections of the most memorable work of the poet.
Coleridge whose scattered multiple- mindedness was the great sign of his genius nonetheless managed to concentrate and create the hypnotic 'Kublai Khan' and 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. This work contains the most well- known of his lyric works. It isnot a volume for the scholar but for the popular reader who wishes to have his Coleridge in a very handy form.
