Excerpt from Coleridge and His Poetry
This is to some extent recognised by writers of histories and text-books of literature, and by editors of selections from the works of our poets for place is always given by them to a certain amount of biographical material. But in the histories and text-books the biography of a given writer stands by itself, and his work has to be sought elsewhere, the student being left to make the connection for himself while even in our current editions of selections there is little systematic attempt to link biography, step by step, with production.
This brings us at once to the chief purpose of the present series. In this, biography and production will be considered together and in intimate association. In other words, an endeavour will be made to interest the reader in the lives and personalities of the poets dealt with, and at the same time to use biography as an introduction and key to their writings.
