Coleridge and Kantian Ideas in England, 1796-1817 : Coleridge's Responses to German Philosophy
'This monograph generates a complex thesis on the construction of Kant’s conservative image in British culture. It examines the dramatic conceptual shifts in S. T. Coleridge’s extensive oeuvre. The book draws on a hitherto barely accessible body of historical documents on Kant in England that Dr Class collected over a period of eight years. The assessment of these materials required comparison with an extensive range of Kant’s primary texts, ranging from early lectures in the 1770s, over the three critiques, to Anthropology (1798). The monograph uncovers young Coleridge's Kant-inspired radicalism and Coleridge’s retrospective cover-up after 1802.'
