List of works

  • Coleridge, S.T. (1969–) The Collected Works, ed. various, Princeton, NJ, and London: Princeton University Press and Routledge.

    (The grand project of this critical edition, together with the Letters and the Notebooks will, when complete, represent the whole of Coleridge’s vast achievement, much of it for the first time in published form. Begun at the end of the 1960s, its aim has been to give his writings the widest possible circulation by providing accurate readable transcriptions, and by attempting to make sense of fragments, trace references and allusions by detailed cross-referencing and editorial commentary. The Collected Works includes The Watchman (vol. 2) and the ‘Essay on Faith’, in the volume Shorter Works and Fragments, ed. H. and J.R. de J. Jackson, 1995.)

  • Coleridge, S.T. (1966–71) Collected Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ed. E.L. Griggs, Oxford: Clarendon Press, 6 vols.

    (E.L. Grigg’s edition of the Collected Letters gives access to Coleridge’s correspondence with family, friends, publishers, fellow scholars, poets and other eminent men and women of his time. They reveal the chronology of his preoccupations, his hopes and fears, the details of his daily life and the development of his thought.)

  • Coleridge, S.T. (1957–) The Coleridge Notebooks, ed. K. Coburn and M. Christensen, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 5 vols.

    (The Coleridge Notebooks reveal not only the vast range of Coleridge’s reading and his intellectual brilliance and profundity, but show his repeated return to struggle with certain topics and the sources of influence on which he drew. Here are fragments of his thought on the physical sciences, on history, religion, psychology, politics, grammar – all witnessing to his continual attempt to show the ultimate unity of nature and mind, philosophy and religion, thought, feeling and experience.)

References and further reading

  • Colmer, J. (1959) Coleridge, Critic of Society, Oxford: Oxford University Press.

    (Still one of the best studies of the whole range of Coleridge’s political thought.)

  • Jasper, D. (1986) The Interpretation of Belief: Coleridge, Schleiermacher and Romanticism, London: Macmillan.

    (An interesting compendium of short critical studies of religious, literary and philosophical themes in Coleridge.)

  • McKusick, J.C. (1986) Coleridge’s Philosophy of Language, New Haven, CT: Yale University Press.

    (A lively and stimulating account of this aspect of Coleridge’s thought; of moderate difficulty in its specialism.)

  • Modiano, R. (1985) Coleridge and the Concept of Nature, London: Macmillan.

    (A very good and readable account of the relation of Coleridge’s thought to German philosophies of nature.)

  • Morrow, J. (1990) Coleridge’s Political Thought: Property, Morality and the Limits of Traditional Discourse, London: Macmillan.

    (Clear and useful in the relationship which it draws between Coleridge’s moral philosophy and his political criticism. A good bibliography.)

  • Muirhead, J.H. (1930) Coleridge as Philosopher, London: Allen & Unwin.

    (One of the best and most enduring attempts to take Coleridge’s philosophical claims seriously; of moderate difficulty.)

  • Newsome, D. (1974) Two Classes of Men, London: John Murray.

    (Clear and stimulating, based on Coleridge’s division of thinkers into Platonists or Aristotelians; accessible.)

  • Perkins, M.A. (1994) Coleridge’s Philosophy: the Logos as Unifying Principle, Oxford: Oxford University Press.

    (A thorough, sometimes demanding overview of Coleridge’s thought in the light of his search for unity.)

  • Skorupski, J. (1993) English Language Philosophy 1750–1945, Oxford: Oxford University Press.

    (The first chapter here is useful).

  • Uehlein, F.A. (1982) Die Manifestation des Selbstbewusstseins im konkreten ‘Ich bin’ (The Manifestation of Self-Consciousness in the Concrete ‘I am’), Hamburg: Felix Meiner Verlag.

    (One of the best analyses of the role of self-consciousness. Again, intellectually demanding in places and unfortunately not yet in translation.)
