Dover Publications, 1994 Great intro and survey of sonnets I needed a little reference with sonnet examples. This fit the bill, and had some savory treats as well. I am a bit time-greedy with my poetry reading, and a sonnet is a fantastic way to get some of the best Shakespeare, Shelley, Longfellow, Hardy, Frost, etc. distilled down to a minute, even reading slowly. It's great to flick open to a page and see some masterful language on a time ...             Godchildren3 reviews Nicholas Coleridge Orion Publishing Group, Ltd., 2002 Epic novel spanning 40 years. Glamour, intrigue, high society. Entertaining and hard to put down. Epic "class society" beach read about the six godchildren of a wealthy tycoon--their lives, loves, and miseries spanning four decades. Part social commentary; Nicholas Coleridge is a keen observer of the British upper and middle classes; see his most recent novel A Much Married Man, which was a bit better than Godchildren. Plenty of intrigue and scandal. Sometimes a little campy-trashy but other ...             The Months: Fun With Friends All Year 'Round (Read Me a Poem)3 reviews Sara Coleridge Lobster Press, 2007 My baby and I both love this book! My 1 1/2-year-old takes this book off the shelf all the time! He loves to name things he sees in the beautiful, rich illustrations. It's a wonderful way to introduce the months of the year to little ones. The text is easy to read and rhyme. Each picture is a story in itself of a special day. They're so cute!             Breaking Away: Coleridge in Scotland2 reviews Carol Kyros Walker Yale University Press, 2002 An Incredibly Beautiful Book The pictures in this book of Scotland's lakes, fields and mountains are breathtaking. Carol Walker follows Coleridge's 263 mile walking tour from over 200 years ago. Mostly color photos record all the sights along the way, and what sights they are. The text consists of a short but thorough history of the tour, and at the end pages from Coleridge's travel journal and letters written during his ...             Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Selected Poems (Bloosmb Ury Poetry Classics)2 reviews Samuel Taylor Coleridge St Martins Pr, 1994 XANADU INSPECTED This edition has a purpose, and one that I subscribe to wholeheartedly. That purpose is `to transform Coleridge's reputation, and find him a new generation of readers'. One hundred and one poems, including thankfully many fragments, are selected. They include, obviously, The Ancient Mariner, Christabel and Kubla Khan, but also sonnets, other ballads, the Asra poems to Sara Hutchinson, nature ...             Great Poets of the Romantic Age (Poetry)2 reviews William Blake, William Wordsworth, ... Naxos Audiobooks, 1994 Ahhhh...Swoon Swoon Swoon... I can hardly contain my enthusiasm at finding this title. The poets they chose for this collection couldn't have been more satisfying. The other reason I got it was that I had just discovered actor, Michael Sheen, who narrates. He has a truly, magnificent voice that gives me chills. As someone who has directed voice talent, and devours poetry, I can tell you that he is a very skilled reader. This ...             Ancient Mariner: The Arctic Adventures of Samuel Hearne, the Sailor Who Inspired Coleridge's Masterpiece3 reviews Ken McGoogan Da Capo Press, 2004 A stroll in the woods Exploration stories often focus on the tropics. David Livingstone, Albert Russel Wallace, Richard Burton and others are readily recalled. The polar quests of Amundsen, Cook, Peary and Byrd probably follow in popularity. The upper latitudes seem almost overlooked. With little land mass approaching Antarctica and its pole, Canada and Russia are left for investigation by the enquiring mind. ...             Kubla Khan: A Pop-up Version of Coleridge's Classic3 reviews Samuel Taylor Coleridge Diane Pub Co, 1994 Pop-up book for grown-ups. All right, you may not be terribly fond of Coleridge. Or you may think he was a poet-god. In either case, I recommend this pop-up version of the "drugged-out classic" (as a prof. of mine once called it) to everyone over the age of, say, 17. Bantock's imaginative use of the familiar pop-up genre, as well as his distinctive art style, accentuate the poetry perfectly. I'm still kicking ...             Coleridge5 reviews Richard Holmes Flamingo, 1999 A wonderful biography - long-awaited sequel If you think Coleridge was finished by 1804, think again. True, all his great poems had been written but an astonishing life of triumph and tragi-comedy lay ahead. "Coleridge, Darker Reflections" is the long-awaited second half of this award-winning biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It covers the period 1804-1834 - a time when, according to popular belief, Coleridge's fertile ...             Coleridge's Defense of the Human1 review Anya Taylor Ohio State Univ Pr (Txt), 1986 Subsequent Coleridge scholarship is in debt to this book. This book was well ahead of its time. A careful reading of recent Coleridge scholarship reveals that Taylor's work identified and illuminated those ideas of STC that would be most discussed at the end of the century.             Coleridge's Criticism of Shakespeare1 review Samuel Taylor Coleridge Wayne State Univ Pr, 1989 Great Literary Criticism Of all of Coleridge's penetrating criticism of Shakespeare perhaps the most well- known is his analysis of the character of Hamlet. I quote the heart of it because it is simple pleasure to read this analysis of the great critic- creator on the master literary creator. "In Hamlet he seems to have wished to exemplify the moral necessity of a due balance between our attention to the objects of ...             Coleridge1 review Macmillan, New York, 1970 Wordsworth upon hearing of his death said, "The most beloved man I have ever known" This is a wonderful short biography and guide to the work of Coleridge. It provides a real understanding of his complicated and fascinating character. Coleridge according to Bate as the youngest child of a large family, and one much favored by his clergyman father developed very early an enormous ability to please through speech. The man who along with Dr. Johnson is considered the ' greatest ...             Great Narrative Poems of the Romantic Age (Poetry)1 review John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, Baron Tennyson, ... Naxos Audiobooks, 1996 Words to stir the soul With these superb readings of classic Romantic narrative poems, you can forget about CGI special effects, thundering soundtracks, exorbitant budgets & empty hype -- all that's needed for an unforgettable experience is the transporting magic of the Word, the Voice, and the Imagination.

Bell and Sons, 1897 The creator as critic This book is based on the lecture notes taken by a Mr. Collier who attended the series of talks given by Coleridge in 1811-1812 at the London Philosophical Society .Coleridge was forty years of age at the time.

W. Norton, 2003 What is good poetry? This edition contains, as well as the poetry, Coleridge's critical essays. For those who often find themselves wondering "is that a good poem?" he provides welcome and sensible guidelines on which to base judgement.             Friends Emily Culpepp1 review Ann Coleridge Putnam Juvenile, 1987 the hunt was quite exciting This was one of the best books of my childhood. We recently gave it to a friend for a baby shower, and they love it too. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is creative and fun.             Biographia Literaria (2 volumes)1 review Samuel Taylor Coleridge Oxford University Press, 1907 Interesting compendium of essays on life and literature Coleridge is a writer/thinker whose own life and works, particularly the later ones, seem to defy the eye of future standard, especially in an age of slick convenience. He is looking for "the vast," does not ignore German idealism like so many other Brits, nor philology, and seeks the vast from the socio-political context of a well-booked, if ne'er-do-too-well, remote, clergy-trained, ...             The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 10 : On the Constitution of the Church and State1 review Samuel Taylor Coleridge Princeton University Press, 1976 Ageless visions in prose and circumstances in timeless words Coleridge was on the romantic side of poetry, however, when reading Kubla Khan, and Rime of the Ancient Mariner, you can't help but think there was some what of an explorer, an adventuristic style in his words that, save opium, had no way to bud a grow with all around hearts-a-bursting. I liken Pablo Neruda to Coleridge, their visions, love, and spirit's ferosity seem to have been forged from the ...              search for books adventures, ballads, biographia, breaking, classics, coleridge, coleridge-taylor, collected, constitution, corrections, critical, criticism, defense, editions, godchildren, inspired, lectures, literaria, mariner, masterpiece, narrative, reprinted, romantic, scotland, selected, shakespeare, shakspere, sonnets, standard, wordsworth books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
