Coleridge's Progress to Christianity: Experience and Authority in Religious FaithBucknell University Press, 1995 - 266 páginas "Best known as a romantic poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge also mounted a strong challenge to the skepticism and relativism we inherit from the Enlightenment. Ronald C. Wendling shows Coleridge, modern in his critical spirit and chronic anxiety, nevertheless progressing toward a total head-and-heart acceptance of Church of England orthodoxy. The tension between Coleridge's poetic feeling for the divinity of the sensible world and his reverential sense of God's personality and transcendence stimulated this development." "Adopting a personalist approach to the study of Coleridge's thought, Wendling explains how the circumstances contributing to his addictive personality helped shape his spiritual and intellectual life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Página 39 - For not to think of what I needs must feel, But to be still & patient all I can; And haply by abstruse Research to steal From my own Nature all the Natural Man— This was my sole Resource, my wisest Plan!
