 | Coleridge and the Armoury of the Human Mind: Essays on his Prose Writings Subjects: Genre; History and Politics; Language & Literature; The Essay; Poetry; Literature; Literary/ Critical Theory; Literary History; Literary Genres; Literature by Geographic Area; Literature by Period; First published in 1991, this book collects a broad array of path-finding scholarship by specialists in Coleridge and Romantic literature on the subject of his prose. They range from broad appraisals of Coleridge's own critical practises; demonstrations of the fecundity of his autobiography, the Biographia Literaria, for contemporaries; the effect of Milton and the radical polemicists of the English Civil War on Coleridge's early political and religious dissent; and the influence of the Hebrew prophetic tradition in his move away from the conjectural millenarianism of his youth towards the interpretation of Prophecy and a symbolic narrative. Peter J. Kitson, Thomas N. Corns |
