- catalog abstract ""Richard Holmes's Coleridge: Early Visions won the 1989 Whitbread Book of the Year Prize. Coleridge: Darker Reflections is the long-awaited second volume." "Dismissed by many as an opium addict, plagiarist, political apostate and a mystic charlatan, the older Coleridge comes storming back to claim our hearts in this volume which covers the last thirty years of his career (1804-1834), during which time he travelled restlessly through the Mediterranean, returned to his old haunts in the Lake District and the West Country, and finally settled in Highgate. It was a period of domestic and professional turmoil." "Holmes traces the development of Coleridge into a legend amongst the younger generation of Romantic writers - the 'hooded eagle amongst blinking owls' - and the influence he had on Hazlitt, de Quincey, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Walter Scott, Carlyle, Sterling, J. S. Mill, F. D. Maurice and others. We re-discover Coleridge's power as a conversationalist and a ceaseless generator of ideas." "Coleridge lives again in these pages so that we can feel his hopeless heartache, his disappointments, his addictions to both Asra and opium, his elated highs and catastrophic lows, his electrifying creativity and boundless energy, and his never-failing ability to rescue himself from the darkest abyss."--BOOK JACKET.".
