By Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Arthur Turnbull, Henry Nelson Coleridge

Book Overview

A bridge across time, a living conversation with Coleridge's world. Biographia Epistolaris (Volume 2) invites readers to walk the British literary milieu through intimate letters and enduring ideas. This is more than a biographical supplement; it is a carefully crafted critical companion that respects the original while speaking to today's students and scholars. The volume presents the epistolary biography as a study reference guide and a vivid component of the complete edition of Coleridge's circle, offering clarity, context, and a nuanced Wordsworth comparison. It gathers correspondence and reception studies into a readable, engaging collection that illuminates how Coleridge's ideas interacted with the wider English Romantic era, shaping a formative literary landscape. Its significance lies in how it preserves a key chapter of our literary history, bridging biography and criticism with thoughtful, approachable prose.
