COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor / WALKER, Carol Kyros - Breaking Away. Coleridge in Scotland

Title: Breaking Away. Coleridge in Scotland
Description: Yale University Press, Yale University Press. 2002, 216pp, Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition. This book draws on Coleridge's letters and notebooks to look at his travels with the Wordsworths from his own point of view and to record and photograph the journey he experienced after he parted from them. Carol Kyros Walker, editor of Dorothy Wordsworth's own Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, now retraces Coleridge's very different Scottish tour and recounts his adventures there. In a remarkable photographic and literary essay, she argues that Coleridge's speed, energy, reflections, notes, and letters all betray a man of great talent who was breaking away from the Wordsworths, from his wife, from his life in the Lake District, and from a dry phase of his writing career.
