Biographia Literaria (Unabridged)

Coleridge's Biographia Literaria merges personal biography with literary criticism, exploring philosophical principles from Aristotle to Kant and analyzing the works of his contemporaries, like Wordsworth. His insights into metaphysical concepts sparked significant academic discourse in the 19th and 20th centuries, with T.S. Eliot hailing him as a preeminent English critic. Coleridge's belief in symbols as tools for understanding the universe and personal experience underscores his contributions to the Romantic Movement and his lasting influence on literature and philosophy.
