Coleridge: Early Visions,1772-(ISBN=9780375705403) 英文原版 2025 chm pdf kindle rb azw3 下载 115盘

Poet, journalist, letter-writer, critic, autobiographer,

lecturer, folklorist, philosopher: when a man's genius is so

amorphous and protean, how can any one biographer hope to encompass

it? Yet, miraculously, in this first of two volumes, Richard Holmes

has succeeded in doing so. . . . His masterly book leaves one

feeling that, if there were a single literary giant of the past,

other than Shakespeare, whom one was permitted to meet, then

Coleridge would be the choice.

"The best literary biography since Ellmann's

Oscar Wilde."

"Dazzling. . . . Here is Coleridge, attractive

and repellant, with all his seductive contradictions: the young man

with his mountainous aspirations, his dreaminess . . . yammering

poetry, pounding the turnpikes, dominating drawing-rooms; the

foaming genius, messy with metaphysical secretions and

uncontrollable speculations. Holmes has not merely reinterpreted

Coleridge, he has re-created him, and his biography has the aura of

fiction, the shimmer of an authentic portrait. [This is] a

biography like few I have ever read."

书籍介绍

Winner of the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Book of the Year, this is the first volume of Holmes's seminal two-part examination of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of Britain's greatest poets.

Coleridge: Early Visions is the first part of Holmes's classic biography of Coleridge that forever transformed our view of the poet of 'Kubla Khan' and his place in the Romantic Movement. Dismissed by much recent scholarship as an opium addict, plagiarist, political apostate and mystic charlatan, Richard Holmes's Coleridge leaps out of the page as a brilliant, animated and endlessly provoking figure who invades the imagination. This is an act of biographical recreation which brings back to life Coleridge's poetry and encyclopaedic thought, his creative energy and physical presence. He is vivid and unexpected. Holmes draws the reader into the labyrinthine complications of his subject's personality and literary power, and faces us with profound questions about the nature of creativity, the relations between sexuality and friendship, the shifting grounds of political and religious belief.
