Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) wrote the famous poems "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan," but he was also an influential philosopher, literary critic, and forerunner of transcendentalism. This 1884 biographical study explores his life and works, divided into Coleridge's "Poetical," "Critical," and "Metaphysical and Theological" periods.

Description
These essays, or "pamphlets," published in 1850, are a vehement denunciation of what Thomas Carlyle believed to be the political, social, and religious injustices of the era. The collection's best known essay is "Hudson's Statue," an attack on plans to erect a monument in honor of the bankrupted financier and "railway king" George Hudson.
