Biographia Literaria is an autobiographical work by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, first published in 1817. The book is a combination of literary criticism, philosophy, and personal memoir. It is divided into 23 chapters, each of which covers a different topic related to Coleridge's life and work.The book begins with Coleridge's childhood and early education, and then moves on to his experiences at Cambridge University and his friendship with William Wordsworth. Coleridge then delves into his thoughts on poetry, including his theory of the organic nature of poetry and his belief that the imagination is the source of all creative power.Throughout the book, Coleridge also discusses his struggles with addiction and mental illness, including his use of opium and his experiences with depression. He also reflects on his religious beliefs and his interest in philosophy, particularly the works of Immanuel Kant.Biographia Literaria is considered a seminal work in the history of literary criticism and is often studied for its insights into Romanticism and the nature of poetry. It is also a valuable source for understanding Coleridge's own life and work, as well as the intellectual and cultural milieu of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Philosophy by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
