Morton D. Paley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 24, 1999 | ISBN-10: 0198184697 | ISBN-13: 978-0198184690

Until now, no detailed examination has been made of the twenty-four portraits known to have been painted of Coleridge during his life. This book provides a critical and scholarly study of the portraits as works of art, each of which seems to reveal some aspect of Coleridge's personality. It also considers the place of each portrait in the career of the artist who produced it. There are reproductions throughout.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`Morton Paley's original and absorbing study sets out to prove that the twenty-four portraits of Coleridge painted during his lifetime constitute more than a visible biography of the poet ... quirky and fascinating study.' Robert Douglas-Fairhurst
