Synopsis

Memoir And Letters Of Sara Coleridge, Ed. By Her Daughter E. Coleridge by Edith Coleridge. This volume is a biographical collection that presents Sara Coleridge's life through a combination of her daughter's editorial apparatus, Sara's own recollections, and an extensive selection of letters. The book comprises a prefatory notice, a memoir including Sara's early life, and the Correspondence sections (1833–1845) written to her husband, brothers, friends, and literary peers. It traces Sara Coleridge's childhood at Greta Hall in Keswick, her marriage to Henry Nelson Coleridge in 1829, motherhood, widowhood, and her later role as editor and commentator on her father's and her own works. The letters reveal her intellectual interests in literature, theology, education, and philosophy, and her reflections on Wordsworth, Southey, and the Lake Poets. The memoir highlights her spiritual temperament, domestic virtues, and intellectual achievements, including her translations and original poetry, as it records both public and private life in mid-19th-century Britain.
