musicdeepdive's review against another edition
4.75
Describes the first half of Coleridge's life, up to his Mediterranean trip of 1804 that many didn't think he would survive. Such was the intensity of his personality, and his severe struggles as a result. Holmes describes him sympathetically but fairly, and the weaving in and out of poetic quotes is gorgeous writing. Excited for part 2.

A very captivating character. The author's passion is infectious, but I felt like I wasn't familiar enough with Coleridge's work to really get the full force of this, though perhaps this book has inspired me to remedy that.
