Trade Review"This engaging discussion of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's mature philosophical theology is driven by the author's interest in the continentious issue of Coleridge's relation to German philosophy." Religious Studies Review Oct 2001
"This work is a significant contribution to Coleridge studies, particularly in light of Hedley's ability to relate both British and German philosophical traditions to Coleridge's mature theology...Hedley has written an intelligent and farreaching work." The Journal of Religion
