This one is specifically at skaryma because I want to see her head a-spode. Though there is a good chance she already knows about it, seeing as she seems to know everything about literature.
Hmm...so either 1) you're not enough of a Coleridge fan to be phased by this, or 2) you've seen this sort of behavior from other notable literary figures and aren't phased by it.
In the case of 2), I guess there's not much I can do, but if it's 1), who would it have to be?
Anyway, I thought it was interesting that someone would have ever called out libraries as hotbeds of illiteracy. I guess it's the same whenever some new thing comes along?
Coleridge was a good poet, but kind of an ass in his essay writing. Let me think about who would totally shock me, and I'll get back to you. (But the Romantics, especially Coleridge and Wordsworth, were incredibly snobby on the whole. That image of the emaciated poet, cursing the society that doesn't understand him? Yeah, the Romantics made that up about themselves.
