About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Good condition for age. Slight wear to the paper cover. Page blocks mild foxing. Pencil inscription on ffl. Internally clean and bright.In this unusual selection, one of the great poet-critics of the twentieth century encounters and re-appraises the greatest poet-critic of the nineteenth. William Empson, assisted by David Pirie, chooses from Coleridge's vast and uneven ouevre the salient poems, and edits and annotates them. Here is a classic example of Empson's techniques of creative and scholarly reading and the best possible introduction to the work of one of the most haunting poets in the English language. 'The pith of my system,' says.
