description: Coleridge's "Shorter Works and Fragments" brings together a number of substantial essays including his "Theory of Life", "Treatise on Method", "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit", "On the Passions", and "On the Prometheus of Aeschylus". To these are added over 400 other pieces, some of them fragmentary, many of them previously unpublished. As might be expected, the subject matter includes literature and language, theology, philosophy, politics and science, but many less-predictable topics, such as child labour laws and marriage, also appear. By gathering this material and presenting it in chronological order, this text reveals the development and major characteristics of Coleridge's variety.
