Abstract

"The Eloquent Centre of All Companies"
August 31, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article critically appraises the book "The Table Talk and Omniana of Samuel Taylor Coleridge." The modern reader, aware of Coleridge's great reputation as "the eloquent centre of all companies" and looking into his "Table Talk" for proofs of it, will be sorely disappointed. He will ask himself, "On what was this great reputation built?" and, like Antony, he will be constrained to pause for a reply. Possibly the only answer is, "On a contemporary habit of mind, and filial piety." The present reprint appears without any attempt to revalue the book.
