Reviews

Coleridge and Contemplation is an exciting addition to Coleridge scholarship to say the least, not only demonstrating that Coleridge stands as a serious philosophical voice in his historical setting but also that his thought continues to open new and provocative conceptual paths today. * British Journal for the History of Philosophy *

Coleridge and Contemplation is an exciting addition to Coleridge scholarship to say the least, not only demonstrating that Coleridge stands as a serious philosophical voice in his historical setting but also that his thought continues to open new and provocative conceptual paths today. * British Journal for the History of Philosophy * Peter Cheyne has done an excellent job in editing this volume, and the range and calibre of his contributors is very impressive ... for the serious student of Coleridge, interested in what he has to say to our age as well as his own, this will be rich and rewarding. * Revd Dr Malcolm Guite, Church Times * This is not a light read... but for the serious student of Coleridge, interested in what he has to say to our age as well as his own, this will be rich and rewarding. * The Revd.
