| Summary: | Luke S. H. Wright's Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the Anglican Church offers an unpersuasive, revisionist account of Coleridge as a fiercely high-church Tory. Wright's thesis is reasonable enough: “I seek to demonstrate that all Coleridge's later ecclesiological thought had political elements and that the pedigree of Coleridge's politics was ‘Tory’ and not Whig. In fact it is Coleridge's attempt to revive Tory political philosophy in an age when Whiggism held the hegemony that makes his thought fresh and distinctive” (p. 26). So far, so good. |
