W. Christie 
Samuel Taylor Coleridge 
A Literary Life

The most sustained criticism and ambitious theory that had ever been attempted in English, the Biographia was Coleridge’s major statement to a literary culture in which he sought to define and defend all imaginative life. This book offers a reading of Coleridge in the context of that culture and the institutions that comprised it.
