"...anyone interested in Anglo-German relations in the Romantic age will have to read this book and the critical heritage it is rapidly generating. s"

"a work of great scholarship which promises to reconfigure our understanding not only of the life and works of a major English writer, but of that writer's complex role in European cultural commerce... the recovery of Coleridge's time-concealed masterpiece promises to trigger a ripple of realignments right across both English and European Romanticism." - Kelly Grovier, Times Literary Supplement
