Focusing on Coleridge's later poetry, Edward Kessler explores the poet's complex relationship with language as a tool for expressing and shaping existence. He challenges the perception of these poems as mere unfinished fragments, arguing instead that they represent a conscious departure from restrictive forms. Kessler presents Coleridge's struggles as a profound engagement with metaphysical concepts, revealing a deeper artistic intent behind what is often dismissed as aesthetic failure.
