- An important contribution to Coleridge studies, looking afresh at his relationship to science and ideas - from anatomy and geology to politics, race theories, and much more.
- Contributions from fifteen important Romantics scholars from both sides of the Atlantic, among them John Beer, Beth Lau, Kelvin Everest, Raimondo Modiano, and Kenneth R. Johnston.
Over the last two decades Romantic studies have been invigorated by a variety of historical methods, approaches, interests; yet work on Samuel Taylor Coleridge has remained dominated by traditional views of Romantic transcendence. Bringing together an exciting variety of approaches, the fifteen authors here redirect attention to Coleridge's relation to the 'sciences of life' - a term which embraces a much broader field than modern 'science'. Accordingly there are chapters on Coleridge and the vitalist debate, political and social ideas,
race theories, dissent, literary relations, and language, as well as on his relation to contemporary optics, chemistry, geology, anatomy, and medicine. Taken all together, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the Sciences of Life marks a vital and exciting development in Coleridge criticism.Readership: Scholars and students of Coleridge and of the history of science in the Romantic period.
