Drawing on previously unpublished contemporary reviews of Kant and seeking socio-political meaning outside the literary canon in the English radical circles of the 1790s, Monika Class here establishes conceptual affinities between Coleridge’s writings and that of Kant’s earliest English mediators and in doing so revises Coleridge’s allegedly non-political and solitary response to Kant.
