This rigorously argued yet deftly written book defines and analyzes Coleridge's moral vision as it reveals itself in his life, thought, and poetry. Based on the entire corpus of his writings, it includes much unpublished or previously unanalyzed primary source material, such as the late notebooks and the Opus Maximum manuscript. Mr. Lockridge considers Coleridge to be one of the great British moralists, and he argues that much of his work is characterized by an uncommon density of thought and an imaginative assimilation of theory to practice. Tracing Coleridge's evolution as a moralist, he treats with close attention Coleridge's writings on such subjects as freedom, will, duty, self-realization, pleasure, suffering, dread, and evil. By bringing together related fragments, he has given coherent structure to the moral thought of a major Romantic writer.
