11649 The Folio Society London, England 1991 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Dust Jacket Slipcase, Very Good Hard Cover Near Fine Pictorial cloth on boards. Illustrations, Maps, Index. Slip case has one very small spot front panel near the bottom, slight wear, now in protective wrap. From the introduction: "If asked that analyst's question, 'What do you think of when I say the word Coleridge' ? most of us would reply Kubla Kahn, The Ancient Mariner, Christabel. We might add something uncomplimentary about opium addiction leading to a descent into plagiarism, and something imprecise about his role as a transmitter of the best of German thought and literature, or about him as a philosopher and theologian in his own right. The object of this book is to show Coleridge in yet another light, as one of the most alert, attuned and sensitive recorders of nature, landscape, and the elements. It is nature in a constant state of change, transition, movement and flux that particularly fascinates him." $30.00USD
