An edition of the poetry of Sara Coleridge

萨拉·柯勒律治，作为塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治的女儿而为人所知，她本身就是一位才华横溢、多才多艺的作家。作为一名诗人，她的作品从未获得应有的读者群，原因很简单，大部分作品从未发表过。我正在为Carcanet出版社编一本她的诗集。将于2006年出版，其中约有一半的作品以前从未印刷过。这些诗歌种类繁多：包括儿童诗歌、专辑诗歌、埃斯库罗斯和卢克莱修的译文、爱情诗歌、宗教诗歌，以及一篇关于骑士主题的长篇未完成的诗歌。她的诗歌雄心勃勃，成就卓著，绝非业余：她是夏洛特·史密斯（Charlotte Smith）职业生涯末期到伊丽莎白·巴雷特（Elizabeth Barrett）时期最优秀的女诗人之一。至少，在我们最近对19世纪早期至中期女性诗歌的重新评估中，她的诗歌声音值得被视为一个重要的声音——例如，与赫曼斯和LEL一起。她不仅是一位诗人，也是一位杰出而严谨的文学评论家，她的阅读范围和对诗歌、小说、政治和宗教的看法都非常广泛。我一直在与卡卡内就编辑萨拉·柯勒律治的文学评论的配套卷进行谈判，前景看起来很有希望在不久的将来得到证实。

Sara Coleridge, best known as the daughter of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, was herself a writer of rare intelligence and great versatility. As a poet, her work has never had the readership it deserves, for the simple reason the most of it has never been published. I am compiling an edition of her poetry for Carcanet Press. To be published in 2006, in which about half of the works have never been printed before. The poems are unusually diverse: they include children's verses, album verses, translations from Aeschylus and Lucretius, love poetry, religious poetry, and a long incomplete balled on a chivalric theme. The poems are ambitious, accomplished and far from amateurish: She is among the best women poets writing between the end of Charlotte Smith's career and the state of Elizabeth Barrett's. at the very least her poetic voice deserves to be heard as an important one- alongside Hemans and LEL, for instance - in our recent reassessments of women's poetry in the early to mid-nineteenth-century. As well as a poet, she was an outstanding and exacting literary critic, ranging far and wide in her reading and opinions on poetry, fiction, politics, and religion. I have been in negotiation with Cacanet about editing a companion volume of Sara Coleridge's literary criticism, and the prospect looks very hopeful that this will be confirmed in the near future.
