Coleridge: Darker Reflections, 1804-1834
Amazon.com Review: Richard Holmes concluded his first, magisterial volume on Samuel Taylor Coleridge with an image of his hero--a not-yet-ancient mariner--departing for the Continent on the Speedwell. The poet was, at this point, an unhappy man. In 1804 [... more]
