Description
Ann C. Colley’s Coleridge and the Geometric Idiom: Walking with Euclid offers a groundbreaking analysis of the geometric imagination in Romantic literature. The study traces how Euclidean geometry functioned as both a mathematical framework and a poetic language for Samuel Taylor Coleridge, influencing his most significant works.
Colley argues that geometry provided Coleridge with a conceptual vocabulary for exploring fundamental questions about creativity, consciousness, and the nature of poetic composition. By examining the interplay between mathematical precision and imaginative vision, this book reveals new dimensions of Coleridge’s intellectual development and aesthetic philosophy.
As part of the prestigious Cambridge Studies in Romanticism series, this volume contributes significantly to our understanding of how Romantic poets engaged with scientific thought and mathematical concepts, demonstrating the vital connections between reason and imagination in the Romantic era.
