Wordsworth and Coleridge: Views from the Meticulous to the Sublime

For a long time the received view of the collaborative relationship between Wordsworth and Coleridge has been that Wordsworth was the efficient producer of more finished poetic statements (most notably his long, autobiographical poem The Prelude) and Coleridge, however extraordinary he was a thinker and talker, left behind more intolerably diffuse and fragmented works. Wordsworth and Coleridge: Views from the Meticulous to the Sublime examines the issue from a number of different critical vantage points, reassessing the poets' inextricable achievements, and rediscovering their legacy.
