Synopsis

This book is a collection of seven lectures on Shakespeare and Milton delivered by Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a course in 1812. Despite being incomplete, they offer valuable insights into the author's critical and philosophical approach to these literary giants. The lectures explore the principles of poetry and their application to the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, examining themes of character, diction, imagery, and the nature of dramatic and poetic expression. Through Coleridge's unique perspective, readers gain a deeper understanding of the literary landscape of the early 19th century and the enduring impact of these iconic writers on Western literature.
