Fruman reasserts bio graphical criticism of Coleridge
Professor Fruman challenges the romantic myths of Coleridge’s originality. He argues Coleridge used Wordsworth as dominant influence, cobbled verses from many sources, and that biography offers better critical insight than practical or isolated methods. The book is thorough, well documented, and argues for revaluing poetic creation.
