Description: "Sublime Coleridge focuses on the role of the Opus Maximum in explaining Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ideas about religion, psychology, and the sublime. The Opus, written in the early 1820s and first published in 2002, is a challenge to every scholar who has encountered it. Sublime Coleridge introduces each major theme of the Opus Maximum--the Will, divine ideas, human subjectivity, and the Trinity--and shows their importance for the rest of his work. A final chapter analyzes how the Opus Maximum clarifies Coleridge's writing elsewhere on the sublime. Sublime Coleridge is an introduction, a reader's guide, and an interpretation of this central text in British Romanticism"--
