Although Coleridge's conservative idea of the state may appear both reactionary and utopian, his religious thought led to a revival of Christian philosophy in England. For him, literature was a form of life — one of the most mysterious forms of life — and while he is supremely quick at noticing purely aesthetic merit and equally quick at marking defect, it is really the philosophical element in his criticism that gives it its transcendent value and interest.

  • Architecture, Urbanisme & Utopie
    Architecture, urbanisme & Utopie La tour de Babel était selon la Genèse une tour que souhaitaient construire les hommes pour atteindre le ciel. Selon les traditions judéo-chrétiennes, c'est Nemrod, le « roi-chasseur » régnant sur les descendants de Noé, qui eut l'idée de construire à Babel (Babylone) une tour assez haute pour que son sommet atteigne le ciel. Descendants de Noé, ils représentaient donc l'humanité entière et étaient censés tous parler la même et unique langue sur Terre, une et une seule langue adamique. Pour contrecarrer leur projet qu'il jugeait plein d'orgueil, Dieu multiplia les langues afin que les hommes ne se comprissent plus. Ainsi la construction ne put plus avancer, elle s'arrêta, et les hommes se dispersèrent sur la terre. Cette histoire est parfois vue comme une tentative de réponse des hommes au mystère apparent de l'existence de plusieurs langues, mais est aussi le véhicule d'un enseignement d'ordre moral : elle illustre les dangers de vouloir se placer à l'égal de Dieu, de le défier par notre recherche de la connais- sance, mais aussi la nécessité qu'a l'humanité de se parler, de se comprendre pour réaliser de grands projets, ainsi que le risque de voir échouer ces projets quand chaque groupe de spécialistes se met à parler le seul jargon de sa discipline. Ce récit peut aussi être vu comme une métaphore du malen- tendu humain; où contrairement aux animaux, les êtres humains ne se comprennent pas par des signes univoques, mais bien par l'équivocité du signifiant. Les récits de constructions que les hommes tentaient d'élever jusqu'au ciel ont depuis longtemps mar- qué les esprits, source d’inspiration pour bon nombre d’écrivains et d’artistes.

  • Democracy’ in Somerset and Beyond
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89755-6 - Romanticism, Revolution and Language: The Fate of the Word from Samuel Johnson to George Eliot John Beer Excerpt More information chapter 1 ‘Democracy’ in Somerset and beyond The political impact of the French Revolution in England was strangely oblique, even when one remembers that it was largely being experienced at one remove. My concern here is not only with some examples of that oblique reaction but with language generally, and with the manner in which the growing questioning of authority during the period reflected a more profound alteration, taking place over a much longer period – a movement from what might be termed the language of fidelity to the cultivation of dialects that could be regarded as more critically oriented. To put the matter another way, whereas in medieval times writers had been so close to the religion of their surrounding culture that they did not need to think about the possible religious implications of their language, by the middle of the twentieth century, they would have become so self-conscious and self-critical that they could not write anything containing such implications and not be aware of possible commenting voices ranging from the harshly critical to the warmly favourable. The 1790s, I shall maintain, provided a crucial juncture for this development. In addition, however, attention may be drawn to recent emphases in the writing of history by which the possibility of concentrating on a small and particular detail and expanding one’s attention from there can be explored, or, alternately, one may begin by proceeding to the widest possible extreme and moving inward.

  • Coleridge and 'Real Life' Tragedy
    From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 29 (NS) Summer 2007 © 2007 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Coleridge and ‘Real Life’ Tragedy Chris Murray ____________________________________________________________________________________________ OLERIDGE, literary critic, voracious reader and chief theorist of the CRomantic Imagination, is not obvious for analysis as an author who writes from real life, and among his most familiar statements are those that discourage the reader such from attention. His own contributions to the Lyrical Ballads Coleridge recalls as being primarily ‘directed to persons and characters supernatural’, and in ‘Dejection: An Ode’, he regrets the extent of his dedication to dehumanising, ‘abstruse research’ (‘Dejection’, l. 89).1 However, Coleridge’s poetic voice is not exclusively indebted to literature. In his preface to ‘The Three Graves’, which Coleridge took over from Wordsworth in 1797 but did not complete, he indicates the poem’s origins: ‘The outlines of the Tale are positive Facts, and of no very distant date’. A letter to Thomas Poole of 1809 indicates Coleridge’s continued interest in catastrophes befalling actual people: ‘Do, do let me have that divine narrative of Robert Walford.’2 Coleridge’s letter alludes to an incident related to him by Poole in 1797. In 1789 John Walford, a charcoal burner, murdered his wife, but became a sympathetic figure despite his crime. Walford’s wife was faulted in accounts of her death as the saboteur of Walford’s engagement to Anne Rice of Adscombe, whose fidelity to Walford to the time of his execution added to the pathos of the episode.3 Due to increasing incidents of murder in Somersetshire, the unconventional decision was made to hang Walford in public and to display his corpse; his exemplary death cast him as a sacrificial victim and therefore a tragic figure.

  • Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage
    Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage Saving Sarah Fricker: Accurately Representing the Realities of the Coleridges’ Marriage Cori Mathis Abstract The Lake Poets circle was prolific; they wrote letters to each other constantly, leaving a clear picture of the beginning and eventual decline of the marriage between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Sarah Fricker Coleridge. Coleridge also was fond of chronicling his personal life in his work. Coleridge’s poetry and prose clearly show that, though he may have come to regret it, he originally married Sarah Fricker for love and was very happy in the beginning of their relationship. The problem with their marriage was that they were just fundamentally incompatible, something that was not Sarah Fricker’s fault—she was a product of her society and simply unprepared to be a wife to someone like Coleridge. Unfortunately, scholars have taken Coleridge’s letters as pure truth and seem to have forgotten that every marriage has two partners, both with their own perspectives. This reflects a deliberate ignorance of Coleridge’s tendency to see situations quite differently from how they actually were. Because of this tradition, Sarah Fricker Coleridge is often portrayed as difficult at best and a harridan at worst. It does not help that she attempted to help her husband’s reputation by the majority of their letters that she possessed—one cannot see her side as clearly. In this essay, I hope to prove that she was simply an unhappy wife, married to a poetic genius who had decided she was the impediment to his happiness while she only wanted to keep their family together and safe.
