A very comprehensive selection of Coleridge's works - By: , 01 Oct 2004
This edition includes not only the unavoidable "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", "Christabel", & "Kubla Khan", but also Coledridge's long aesthetical study, the "Biographia Literaria", in full (just for this treat, these "Major Works" would be worth buying) & some of his letters, notebooks & marginalia...not to mention selections from "The Friend" & the "Lay Sermons".

Why don't I rate it with 5 stars? First of alll, I believe this anthology would definitely gain from a fuller critical apparatus. Then, it'd do no harm to include the two versions of "The Ancient Mariner", as well as "Dejection: a Letter". Last but not least, I think the selections from Coleridge's "Table Talk" & "Lectures on Shakespeare" (in spite of their apocryphal nature) should have been more generous.
