ABSTRACT

Coleridge, Remorse (2nd edition, 1814); review by John Taylor Coleridge, Quarterly Review, XI (April 1814), 177–190. [Issue appeared in July 1814.] S. T. Coleridge was to answer the opening and closing paragraphs, in which his nephew calls for a statement of poetic principles, in his Biographia Literaria (1817). The quotation on page 181 is from “To a Sleeping Child” by John Wilson (“Christopher North”), who was at this date identified with the Lake Poets. On page 187 the reviewer alludes to Bellingham’s assassination of Prime Minister Spencer Perceval on May 11, 1812.
