Coleridge, Christabel [etc.]

Coleridge, Christabel [etc.] (1816); review by William Hazlitt, Examiner, June 2, 1816, pp. 348-349. Though ill-tempered and hostile to Coleridge personally, Hazlitt has at least enough honest good taste to admire Coleridge’s best poetry and not to claim the superiority of “The Pains of Sleep” just because it was more comprehensible, as some reviewers did.
