Short description:
This book documents the existence of numerous different versions of Coleridge's seven best-known poems - a multiplicity of texts that raises important theoretical questions about the consitution of the Coleridge canon, the ontological identity of a work, and current methods of editing and interpreting. Along with a great deal of historical, biographical, and textual information, Stillinger offers a new practical theory of versions. An appendix provides texts and elaborate apparatuses for the seven poems.
MoreLong description:
Stillinger establishes and documents the existence of numerous different authoritative versions of Coleridge's best-known poems: sixteen or more of The Eolian Harp, for example, eighteen of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and comparable numbers for This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison, Frost at Midnight, Kubla Khan, Christabel, and Dejection: an Ode. Such multiplicity of versions raises a number of theoretical and practical questions about the constitution of the Coleridge canon, the ontological identity of any specific work in the canon, the editorial treatment of Coleridge's works, and the ways in which multiple versions complicate interpretation of the poems as a unified (or, as the case may be, disunified) body of work. Providing much new information about the texts and production of Coleridge's major poems, Stillinger's study offers intriguing new theories about the nature of authorship and the constitution of literary works.
...this book gives us a convenient early chance to reconsider the nature and significance of textual variety in Coleridge's work.
