Specimens Of The Table Talk Of The Late Samuel Taylor Coleridge: In Two Volumes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a two?volume collection that compiles the late poet? philosopher’s informal conversations. The volumes preserve Coleridge’s spoken reflections on literature, philosophy, religion, and public affairs as recorded by admirers and editors from his circle. Contents cover discussions of Shakespeare, Milton, Plato, Kant, Spinosa, and the Christian faith, alongside commentary on politics such as the Reform Bill, church and state, and Irish affairs. The format aims to present his ideas in their living, unpolished form, offering a portrait of a mind busy with synthesis, critique, and moral inquiry rather than formal treatises. The work provides insight into Coleridge’s method of reconciling diverse philosophical strands into a cohesive worldview, and into the broader intellectual culture of the era. Volume I and Volume II together preserve a substantial biographical and intellectual record, published originally in 1835.
