Etext Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Clytie Siddall and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team HTML file produced by David Widger "The Literary Remains of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 2" by Coleridge is a scholarly collection of essays, lectures, and notes written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses predominantly on the literary critique and analysis of renowned playwrights like Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Beaumont and Fletcher, delving into their respective contributions to poetry and drama, as well as offering insights on poetry's essence, form, and function. At the start of this volume, Coleridge presents an extract from a letter in which he reflects on the originality and impact of his previous lectures on Shakespeare, asserting that his unique insights into the interplay of judgment and genius are often overlooked or misattributed. He continues with a detailed exploration of what constitutes poetry, contrasting it with prose and science. Coleridge elaborates on Shakespeare's creative genius, emphasizing the significance of emotional resonance and the role of artistic expression in capturing the complexity of human experiences. As he establishes a framework for understanding literary works, he also critiques the public taste and societal influences that shape perceptions of art, stressing the importance of a critic's reverence and intellectual rigor when approaching the study of great literary figures.
