The rules of the imagination are themselves the very powers of growth and production.
This work stands at the very heart of British Romantic literature. Presenting a sketch of Coleridge's troubled life and opinions as the context for a series of virtuoso reflections on contemporary poetry and criticism, the 'Biographia' embodies the Romantic quest for the unifying Imagination.
In introducing a new German philosophy to an English readership, as well as offering the first authoritative appraisal of England's greatest living poet, William Wordsworth, the 'Biographia' had a profound influence not only on the Romantic generation but also on subsequent poets and critics.
This is a comprehensive edition, with introduction, notes, further reading, index and chronology of Coleridge's life and times.
