The Oxford Handbook of Coleridge is a single-volume source of original scholarship on all aspects of Coleridge's diverse writings. Thirty-seven articles present an in-depth assessment of a major author of British Romanticism. The book is divided into sections on Biography, Prose Works, Poetic Works, Sources, and Influences, and Reception. The Coleridge scholar today has ready access to a range of materials previously available only in library archives on both sides of the Atlantic. The Bollingen edition of the Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forty years in production, was completed in 2002. The Coleridge Notebooks (1957–2002) were also produced during this same period, five volumes of text with an additional five companion volumes of notes. The Clarendon Press of Oxford published the letters in six volumes (1956–71). To take full advantage of the convenient access and new insight provided by these volumes, the Oxford Handbook examines the entire range and complexity of Coleridge's career. It analyses the many aspects of Coleridge's literary, critical, philosophical, and theological pursuits, and furnishes both students and advanced scholars with the proper tools for assimilating and illuminating Coleridge's rich and varied accomplishments.
