Table Talk E-book
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genre: Literature
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834) English poet, essayist, and critic.
Known as a brilliant conversationalist and the most perceptive critic of
his day, Coleridge left only a small body of work to preserve his genius.
Table Talk (1834) Included here are six short pieces about Shakespeare
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "the most perceptive English critic of
his time." Created between 1822 and 1834, they deal with Shakespeare's
Hamlet, Lear, and Othello. Coleridge also compares Shakespeare to John
Milton (1608-1674) and, in another selection, writes on
Shakespeare's agelessness.
