Drawing on a doctoral foundation, it frames key debates through Protestant critiques, Hume’s “Fork” and scepticism’s relation to natural religion, then analyzes Coleridge’s poetry and prose across major periods.

I want to thank the AHRC (then AHRB) for funding my doctoral research, and the Principal and Fellows of Linacre College for awarding me a Mary Blaschko graduate scholarship.  \nMany people have assisted me before, during, and after my doctoral research in Oxford. I want to start by thanking Professor John Haffenden and George Botterill at the University of Sheffield for early advice and encouragement. I also want to thank Dr Timothy Chesters, Professor Paul Hamilton, Professor Alister McGrath, Professor Jon Mee, Professor Lucy Newlyn, and Dr Seamus Perry for their invaluable help and guidance at various stages ofthis project. I want to thank my examiners, the late Professor A. D. Nuttall and Professor J. B. Beer forgiving the thesis the benefit of their great learning and insight, and for their constructive observations on how it might be developed into a book. My greatest intellectual debt, however, is to my supervisor Dr Fiona Stafford who has helped me immeasurably throughout my time in Oxford. I cannot imagine a better or more generous teacher.  \nAt OUP I would like to thank Andrew McNeillie for commissioning and generously supporting the publication of the book, and Jacqueline Baker for providing professional and efficient guidance at various stages of the publication process. I would especially like to thank the two anonymous readers from OUP who offered extremely perceptive and practical advice on developing the thesis into a book.  \nI would like to thank the librarians and staff at the Bodleian library, the English Faculty library, the Philosophy Faculty library, the Theology Faculty library, and the Radcliffe Science library in Oxford.  \nOn a personal note, I would like to thank my family for their ","cbCaipsksiDqCHbc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipsksiDqCHbc","pdf",1319155,240,"English","# Introduction\n# Theological Voluntarism and Protestant Critiques of Natural Reason\n# Hume’s ‘Fork’: Scepticism and Natural Religion\n# ‘That Uncertain Heaven’: Coleridge’s Poetry and Prose 1795 to 1805\n# Between Flesh and Spirit: Coleridge’s Prose Writings 1815 to 1825\n# Conclusion\n# Bibliography\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of the book?\",\"answer\":\"The book focuses on Coleridge’s relation to scepticism and how it bears on questions of theological debate, natural reason, and natural religion.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book connect scepticism to natural religion?\",\"answer\":\"It does so through discussion of Hume’s “Fork”, treating scepticism as a pivotal challenge to natural religion.\"},{\"question\":\"Which parts of Coleridge’s writing does the book examine?\",\"answer\":\"It examines Coleridge’s poetry and prose, including his work from 1795 to 1805 and his prose writings from 1815 to 1825.\"}]","Coleridge and Scepticism | PDF",1789772980,370,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,107,111,116,121,126,131,136,139,143],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":112,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":129,"slug":130},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":135},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":134,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":134,"slug":138},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":140,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":141,"show_sort_weight":140,"slug":142},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":144,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":145,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":146},19,"General","general"]
