This book began as a chapter in my doctoral thesis, which I wrote 11-
0
while at Keble College, Oxford, and it grew into its present shape while ct - 2
I held posts at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and the University ne
n
ofWarwick. During this time my work on the subject has been Co
e
encouraged by many people; to three of them in particular I owe a av
gr
large debt of gratitude: Roy Park, my thesis supervisor, for his inde- Pal
fatigable attention to detail; Elinor Shaffer, for encouraging me not o -
s
m
to underestimate the strength of the Coleridge–Schiller relationship; o
Tr
and Michael Bell, whose chapter on Schiller in Sentimentalism, Ethics et i
k
and the Culture of Feeling (2000) I read just as this book was going to ote
press, for encouraging me to think about the broader issues in Schil- bibli
s
ler’s reception and, not least, for kindly agreeing to read and comment et
sit
upon a draft of this book. er
v
Lesley Sharpe, Joyce Crick and Stephen Gill also read selections Uni
o
ofthe book and I am grateful to them for their careful and discrimin- d t
e
ating responses. I thank, too, a large number of people whose timely ns
e
c
comments helped to shape this book, probably in ways unbe- m - li
knownst to them: John Beer, Thomas McFarland, Heather Jackson, o
c
Peter Larkin, Anya Taylor, Raimonda Modiano, Nick Halmi, Graham ct.
e
n
Davidson, Douglas Hedley, Lucy Newlyn, Geoffrey Rowell, Val on
c
Cunningham, Christine Battersby, Andrew Benjamin, F. J. Lamport ve
a
and Paul Hamilton. algr
p
The book has also benefited from the intellectual exchange w.
w
w
fostered by the postgraduate seminar at Oxford, ‘Romantic Realign- m
o
ments’, and in particular by two contemporaries of mine, both al fr
Coleridgeans: Tim Milnes and Seamus Perry. Much of the research eri
at
for this book was carried out at the Taylor Institution Library, m
ht
Oxford, and I am grateful to the librarians there, especially Giles g
yri
Barber, Jill Hughes and David Thomas, for their expert advice and for op
C
helping to see me through one, rather lean, year. I also owe adebt of
gratitude to a colleague at Warwick, Martin Warner, whose work on
the relationship between philosophy and literature is a kind of edu-
cation in its own right.
