Coleridge's Criticism

It is probably true that Biographia Literaria is the best book of criticism in the English language; nevertheless, it is rash to assume that it is a book of criticism of the highest excellence1, even when it has passed through the salutary process of drastic editing, such as that to which, in the present case,[15] the competent hands of Mr George Sampson have submitted it. Its garrulity2, its digressions, its verbiage3, the marks which even the finest portions show of submersion in the tepid4 transcendentalism that wrought5 such havoc6 upon Coleridge's mind—these are its familiar disfigurements. They are not easily removed; for they enter fairly deeply even in the texture7 of those portions of the book in which Coleridge devotes himself, as severely8 as he can, to the proper business of literary criticism.

Edited by George Sampson, with an Introductory Essay by Sir Arthur
