Tim Fulford is Professor of English at De Montfort University and Director of the Biennial Coleridge Conference. He is the winner of the 2019 Robert Penn Warren/Cleanth Brooks Award for Literary Scholarship.
'Fulford's collection is carefully chosen, illuminating, and fresh. The writing throughout is vivid with lively quotations from Coleridge, commentary direct and not arcane, with no tedious jargon or distracting theory. The entries appreciate their subject and know him in detail. I am hoping the book launches new Coleridgeans in colleges and universities throughout the world, and that those lucky students of this good and wise poet can find jobs from which to spread their closely reasoned enthusiasm.' Anya Taylor, The Coleridge Bulletin
