Synopsis From the preface: "The aim and purport of this edition of the poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge is to provide the general reader with an authoritative list of the poems hitherto published, and at the same time to furnish the student with an exhaustive summary of various readings derived from published and unpublished sources viz. (1) the successive editions issued by the author, (2) holograph MSS., or (3) contemporary transcriptions. Occasion has been taken to include in the text and appendices a considerable number of poems, fragments, metrical experiments and first drafts of poems now published for the first time from MSS. in the British Museum, from Coleridge’s notebooks, and from MSS. in the possession of private collectors.
