Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Coleridge and Wordsworth: Select Poems, Prescribed for the Matriculation and Departmental Examinations for 1903 Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born at Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, on the 21st of October, 1772. His father, the Rev. John Coleridge, the vicar and schoolmaster of the place, had conquered his small position in the world by dint of hard and faithful work. He had been twice married, and the poet was the youngest of a family of thirteen children. The only characteristic trait which Coleridge can be said to have inherited from his father was a certain intellectual pedantry, which manifested itself in later years by the outlandish titles which he assigned to works not destined to advance in many instances beyond the title-page. So we find in the worthy vicar´s Critical Latin Grammar a proposed change in the nomenclature of the cases, whereby the ablative was to receive the expressive name of the quippe-quare-quale-quia-quidditive case. It is also told of him that he was wont to harangue his simple congregation in the original Hebrew, as being the "immediate language of the Holy Ghost." They considered his successor as wanting in piety for abandoning this practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
