[Peterson A38] Coleridge is the premier poet-critic of modern English tradition, distinguished for the scope and influence of his thinking about literature as much as for his innovative verse. Active in the wake of the French Revolution as a dissenting pamphleteer and lay preacher, he inspired a brilliant generation of writers and attracted the patronage of progressive men of the rising middle class. As William Wordsworth's collaborator and constant companion in the formative period of their careers as poets, Coleridge participated in the sea change in English verse associated with LYRICAL BALLADS (1798). His poems of this period, speculative, meditative, and strangely oracular, put off early readers but survived the doubts of Wordsworth and Robert Southey to become recognized classics of the romantic idiom.  This book contains thirteen poems. It was first announced as in preparation in the list of Dec. 1, 1894, and as in the press in that of Nov. 26,1895. It is the last of the series to which Tennyson's MAUD, and the poems of Rossetti, Keats, Shelley, and Herrick belong.  Provenance: Ownership inscription: "Edwin Ruthven Lawson, 4 Marlborough Street, Boston."  Silk ties perished. Condition overall: Very Good.…
