A useful reference, mostly for the prose selections, that I picked up at my fav. Ithaca, NY bookshop, Autumn Leaves Used Books.

My rating in no way reflects on the actual writing of Mr. Coleridge. That is exemplary. However, I just don't care for him much. I find his essays of little interest and a bit dry. The only time they spark any genuine emotional response in me is when he engages in elitist commentary on the harm done to literature by the masses being able to read. Doubtless, he would consider my reaction to be precisely part of the problem of the common folk thinking they are literate.
As for his poetry, it is incredible well-written, but much of it is far too sentimental for me and more often than not, it sermonizes a faith that I do not share. With that said, I loved "Fears in Solitude".
