9780140530131: Coleridge on Shakespeare;: A selection of the essays, notes and lectures of Samuel Taylor Coleridge on the poems and plays of Shakespeare; (Penguin Shakespeare library)

Synopsis

Prior to Coleridge, as Professor Harbage remarks in an introduction to this volume, the great critics tended to "present Shakespeare at a remove. When we read Johnson, we think what a wonderful man Johnson is. When we read Schlegel, we think what a wonderful summary this is. When we read Coleridge, we think what a wonderful artist is Shakespeare. Coleridge's is the criticism with immediacy...when he speaks, Shakespeare is there."

In this edition Terence Hawkes has given a logical order to everything that was written (or spoken) by Coleridge about Shakespeare as poet and dramatist. His sound text (unencumbered by scholarly trimmings) assembles in one book the scattered enthusiasms, the considered opinions, and the random thoughts of one great poet about another and greater. These essays, notes, and lectures confirm Coleridge's reputation as the greatest Shakespearian critic of the last century.
