`a direct source of information about the young Coleridge from the
time of his birth to his arrival at Jesus College, Cambridge.'
The Keswick Reminder
`This collection will be of great interest to students of Samuel
Taylor Coleridge...The introduction is invaluable for its
explanation of the complications of this fascinating larger family;
larger claims for the importance of these letters for our
understanding of the later life of the poet are sometimes
strained.'
Times Literary Supplement
`Considered as a whole, the letters provide, as Engell notes in his
introduction, valuable glimpses of English social history in the
late eighteenth century.'
Nicholas Halmi, University of Toronto, The Wordsworth Circle,
Autumn '96
`The Commentary on the letters is full, especially on biographical
matters.'
W.J.B. Owen, RES New Series, Vol. XLVIII, No. 190 (1997)
