Description
Excerpt from Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Vol. 1 of 2
Courier, and these, together with letters from Words worth and Southey, were printed in a single volume bear ing the title, Letters from the Lake Poets. Miss Stuart contributed a short account of her father''s life, and also a reminiscence of Coleridge, headed A Fare well.
Coleridge''s biographers, both of the past and present generations, have met with a generous response to their appeal for letters to be placed in their hands for reference and for publication, but it is probable that many are in existence which have been withheld, sometimes no doubt intentionally, but more often from inadvertence. From his boyhood the poet was a voluminous if an irregular correspondent, and many letters which he is known to have addressed to his earliest friends - to Middleton, to Robert Allen, to Valentine and Sam Le Grice, to Charles Lloyd, to his Stowey neighbour, John Cruikshank, to Dr. Beddoes, and others may yet be forthcoming. It is certain that he corresponded with Mrs. Clarkson, but if any letters have been preserved they have not come under my notice. It is strange, too, that among the letters of the Highgate period, which were sent to Henry Nelson Coleridge for transcription, none to John Bookham Frere, to Blanco White, or to Edward Irving appear to have been forthcoming.
