This book re-evaluates the philosophical status of Samuel Taylor Coleridge by providing an extended comparison between his work and the phenomenological theory of Edmund Husserl. Examining Coleridgeâs accounts of the imagination, perception, poetic creativity and literary criticism, it draws a systematic and coherent structure out of a range of Coleridgeâs philosophical writing. In addition, it also applies the principles of Coleridgeâs philosophy to an interpretation of his own poetic output.
