Coleridge's Biographia Literaria

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Biograpia Literaria



     The written monument of Coleridge's critical work is contained in 24 chapters of Biographia Literaria (1815-17). In this critical disquisition, Coleridge concerns himself not only with the practise of criticism, but also, with its theory. In his practical approach to criticism, we get the glimpse of Coleridge the poet; whereas in theoretical discussion, Coleridge the philosopher came to the center stage. In chapter XIV of Biographia Literaria, Coleridge's view on nature and function of poetry is discussed in philosophical terms.
