This curated anthology, edited by Stephen Potter, presents a carefully chosen selection of Coleridge's most celebrated verse — including the spectral grandeur of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and the dreamlike fragment Kubla Khan — alongside his remarkably lucid and penetrating prose, offering readers a panoramic view of one of the nineteenth century's most formidable intellects.\n\nPotter's editorial hand is both scholarly and sympathetic, illuminating the tension at the heart of Coleridge's genius: a mind of extraordinary critical acuity perpetually at war with its own creative demons. The selection draws together the lyrical and the theoretical, chronicling the full arc of a writer who was simultaneously a poet of supernatural wonder and a foundational critic of English literature. Published by the distinguished Nonesuch Press, this edition is as much a collector's artefact as a literary compendium — and for any reader who has yet to surrender to Coleridge's intoxicating world, it stands as an irresistible invitation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160994226395,"sku":"2026200013879-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c856a9be-db69-4842-989b-690e30aba417.png?v=1787188638","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013879-secondhand-coleridge-select-poetry-prose","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
