The Coleridge Connection: Essays for Thomas McFarland

Exploring Coleridge's involvement with contemporary circles, this book extends from his years in Bristol and Cambridge, under the influence of scientific Jacobins and Unitarians, through to the time of his intellectual authority, and his thoughts on the Victorian Church and American transcendentalism. His creative reception of German thought and the symbiosis apparent in his friendships with such writers as Wordsworth, Lamb and De Quincey, and scientists such as Humphry Davy and J.H.Green, make up the central sections of the book.
