Collections
The successive collections of Coleridge’s poems which appeared during his lifetime
have been excluded from this category and are positioned under §1,
below. Only nos B and D of the collections listed here have a shared title page,
but nos A and C are often described as collected edns (e.g. in the National
Union Catalogue). All four attempt to put Coleridge’s writing as a whole into
print in uniform format.
(A) Family edition. Ed D., H. N. and S. Coleridge 22 vols 1834–53; etc.
Though vols have separate title pages and are not numbered as part of a set,
they were obviously conceived as a single unified project. William Pickering
originally pbd every vol except for 4–5 (pbd by J. Murray) and 21–2 (pbd by E.
Moxon). Moxon began to reprint titles as the project moved towards completion,
specifically: Poems, ed Derwent and Sara Coleridge 1852; Dramatic
works, ed Derwent Coleridge 1852; Lay sermons and Statesman’s
manual, ed Derwent Coleridge 1852; Aids to reflection, ed Derwent
Coleridge, 7th edn 1854; The friend, ed Derwent Coleridge 1863. Some bibliographical
descriptions include in this collection only the 22 vols pbd by
Pickering and others between 1834 and 1853; others include only the 15 vols pbd
by Pickering alone between 1839 and 1853 – a sequence which is much more
uniform in appearance.
1–3. Poetical works. [Ed H. N. Coleridge] 3 vols 1834 and often rptd;
Poems in 1 vol ed S. Coleridge, Pickering 1844 and 1848; Poems,
ed D. and S. Coleridge, Moxon 1852; Dramatic works, ed D.
Coleridge, Moxon 1852.
4–5. Table-talk. Ed H. N. Coleridge 2 vols 1835; 2nd edn 1836; etc.
6. Church and state; Lay sermons. Ed H. N. Coleridge (= 3rd edn)
1839.
7–8. Biographia literaria. Ed H. N and S. Coleridge (= 2nd edn) 2
vols 1847.
9–10. Aids to reflection. Ed H. N. Coleridge (= 4th edn) 2 vols 1839.
11–12. Notes and lectures on Shakespeare. Ed S. Coleridge 2 vols
1849.
13. Confessions of an inquiring spirit. Ed H. N. Coleridge 1840.

20. Notes, theological, political, and miscellaneous. Ed D.
Coleridge 1853.
21–2. Notes on English divines. Ed D. Coleridge 2 vols 1853.
H. N. Coleridge also edited 4 vols of Literary remains in a larger format
(1836–9) from which the 3 vols of Notes are in part drawn.
(B) Complete works, with an introductory essay upon his philosophical
and theological opinions. Ed W. G. T. Shedd 7 vols New
York 1853; rptd 1854, 1856, 1858, 1860 etc, up to 1884. Shedd’s
introd, Coleridge as a philosopher and theologian, rptd in his
Literary essays, New York [1878].

6. On the constitution of the church and state; Lay sermons. Ed H.
N. Coleridge. Table-talk.
7. Poetical and dramatic works.
(C) Bohn Standard Library edition. 8 vols 1865–1911.
Bohn pbd a Select poetical works in 1852, and Bell and Daldy a single-vol
Poems in 1862 (Elzevir ser) and in 1864 (Chiswick ser). Bell and Daldy continued
to publish Coleridge prose-titles from 1865 onwards in a uniform series
which merged with Bohn’s Standard Lib. The following vols are uniform in
size and format, but do not carry a shared title page or vol numbers. The dates
are those of first printing, after which several vols were rptd many times:
1. The friend. 1865.
2. Biographia literaria; Lay sermons. [1866.]
3. Lectures and notes on Shakspere and other English poets. Ed T.
Ashe 1883.
4. Table talk and Omniana. Ed T. Ashe 1884.
5. Aids to reflection; Confessions of an inquiring spirit. 1884.
6. Miscellanies, aesthetic and literary. Ed T. Ashe 1885.
7–8. Biographia epistolaris. Ed A. Turnbull 2 vols 1911.
(D) Collected works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Ed Kathleen
Coburn. 16 multi-part vols 1969– .
The background and evolution of the edn are described in Coburn’s In
pursuit of Coleridge (1977) and W. McGuire’s Bollingen (1982). It does not
include Collected letters (ed E. L. Griggs 6 vols 1956–71) or Notebooks (ed
Coburn, Merton Christensen and A. J. Harding 5 double-vols 1957– ). Editors
of individual titles have replaced one another in the course of its preparation;
Coburn and the associate editor, Bart Winer, have predeceased its completion;
