The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 5

Between 1808 and 1819 Samuel Taylor Coleridge delivered to audiences in Bristol and London more than a hundred lectures in twelve courses that may be broadly described as literary. These two volumes record these lectures, which discussed a variety of topics such as taste, education, superstition, and the Dark Ages in Europe, and which also reflected Coleridge's central concerns as a critic.
