My principal indebtedness is to the British Library, which holds the manuscripts from which these entries have been transcribed: my thanks to the staff of the manuscript reading room, who have been unfailingly helpful andefficient. I am also most grateful for permission to consult the photocopies of many of the notebooks held by Jesus College, Cambridge, and thank especially Dr Frances Willmoth for her great assistance. Anyone working on Coleridge owes an immense debt to the extraordinary scholarship of the late Kathleen Coburn, editor of The Notebooks of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and general editor of the Bollingen Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as well as to the individual editors in that remarkable enterprise, and to the late E. L. Griggs, editor of Coleridge’s letters. My own debt will be clear from the pages of commentary below. I wish to thank my colleagues in the Department of English Literature at Glasgow for their characteristic generosity with advice and scholarship, and especially Robert Cummings. The study-weekends and biennial conference held by the Friends of Coleridge never fail to rouse Coleridgean spirits; my students at the Bread Loaf Graduate School of English, held at Lincoln College, Oxford, annually confirmed me in my enthusiasm; and Lucy Newlyn, Nicholas Roe, and Jane Stabler kindly encouraged me along in-between. At Oxford University Press, Sophie Goldsworthy, Fiona Kinnear, and, especially, Frances Whistler have, at different stages, looked after the book with more than exemplary care and terrific patien","cbCaitfIGWLQ5st9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitfIGWLQ5st9","pdf",1022303,289,"English","# Preface\n# Introduction\n## Coleridge and the Notebook\n# Abbreviations\n# Textual Note\n# Census of Manuscripts\n# Commentary\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"Who edited Coleridge’s Notebooks: A Selection?\",\"answer\":\"Seamus Perry is listed as the editor of the selected edition.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the preface in this edition?\",\"answer\":\"The preface contains acknowledgements for manuscript sources and scholarly support, and it explains the editor’s role and dedication.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the introduction emphasize Coleridge’s notebook?\",\"answer\":\"The introduction presents the notebook as a major, highly readable prose masterpiece that records prolonged self-observation and private thoughts.\"}]","Coleridge’s Notebooks - A Selection - Preface & Introduction | PDF",1789940204,445]
