Opis

This book argues that Coleridge's most important philosophical ideas were expressed not through theoretical argument but through his poems.

Recenzje

'… demonstrate[s] the sheer range of Coleridge's reach - Jones concentrates on his investment in the history of philosophy … and improve[s] our understanding of just how subtle and essential Coleridge's interdisciplinarity is for anyone who wishes to engage thoroughly with his thought.' Philip Aherne, The BARS Review
