The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 4 (Part I)

The book presents a revised edition of Coleridge's work originally published between 1809 and 1810, reflecting his efforts to clarify and enhance the text in response to public demand. The 1818 three-volume version aims to resolve ambiguities and showcase Coleridge's matured insights. This collection reverts to the 1818 text, incorporating his annotations and manuscript changes as footnotes, which also clarify sources and themes. Additionally, the entire periodical "Friend" is included as an appendix, featuring the 1812 revisions.
