Summary:

Coleridge combined the genius of a poet with the mind of a philosophical critic. His writings are wide-ranging in form and content, and vast in number. This eagerly awaited Norton Critical Edition is the most comprehensive and accessible student edition available and has been prepared to meet the needs of both students and scholars. The editors present Coleridge's writing in its historical context to indicate the public resonance of his work. The poetry selections highlight the development of his poetic canon, the construction of his volumes of poetry, and the evolution of his poetic style. The editors have arranged the poems as they first appeared in collections under Coleridge's name. The prose writings represent Coleridge's public and private voices and include selections from all the major prose published during his lifetime as well as from his notebooks, letters, and marginalia. Supporting apparatus includes detailed headnotes, authorial and editorial annotations, a biographical register, a glossary, and an index of poems and first lines. "Criticism" collects twenty assessments of Coleridge's poetry and prose by nineteenth- and twentieth-century British and American authors, including William Wordsworth, Thomas Carlyle, Harriet Martineau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, Margaret Fuller, Robert Penn Warren, M.H. Abrams, Frances Ferguson, Karen Swann, Nicholas Roe, and Jerome McGann.
