Through an examination of his later personal notebooks, this study explores the reciprocal effects that Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s scientific explorations, philosophical convictions, theological beliefs, and states of health exerted upon his perceptions of human Body/Soul relations, both in life and after death.

“Webster’s treatment of the theories she reconstructs is admirably thorough, opening a new path through the complex
territory of the late notebooks.” – BARS Bulletin
