Biographia Literaria by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (English) Paperback Book

Description: Biographia Literaria by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Samuel Taylor Coleridge intended Biographia Literaria to be a short preface to a collection of his poems, Sibylline Leaves (1817). However, it quickly expanded into a two-volume autobiography, mixing memoir, philosophy, religion and literary theory, and was heavily influenced by German criticism, the evaluation and interpretation of literature. Coleridge himself described Biographia Literaria as an immethodical miscellany of life and opinions. In 1906, the poet Arthur Symons called the work the greatest book of criticism in English, and one of the most annoying books in any language. Poetic theory in Biographia Literaria Biographia Literaria includes some of the most important English writing on poetic theory. Some of it is a response to ideas of poetry advanced by his close friend and collaborator William Wordsworth, first in the 1800 preface to their joint publication Lyrical Ballads and then in the preface to Wordsworths Collected Poems (1815). Referring to the latter, Coleridge says he wants in Biographia Literaria to make clear on what points I coincide with the opinions in that preface, and in what points I altogether differ.
