Hartley Coleridge: A Reassessment of His Life and Work

Consisting of six chapters, each as long as a journal article (a version of Chapter 5 appeared in the Coleridge Bulletin in 2006), this is the first modern study since 1931 of Hartley Coleridge, an unjustly ignored nineteenth century literary presence. The research involved examining the poet’s long-neglected, scattered and haphazard archive in order to produce a monograph on his life and work from the vantage-point of a zeitgeist profoundly different to that in which his reputation was last assessed. The research for and writing of the book required a sustained effort beyond that required to produce two single outputs.
