Description: "The afterlives of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) appear in a vast spectrum of writers throughout the nineteenth century and reach into the heart of modern literary theory. In this volume, fourteen commissioned essays examine for the first time the breadth and variety of Coleridge's afterlives. Topics include philosophy, gender, education, American literature, South Asian literature, aesthetics, narrative, literary criticism, and poetry. Coleridge's Afterlives offers new research to the scholar, maps complex territory for the student, and constitutes a significant resource for study across a number of literary movements, genres, and periods."--Jacket.
