An edition of the poetry of Sara Coleridge

莎拉·柯勒律治以塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治之女而闻名，她本人就是一位才智出众、多才多艺的作家。作为一名诗人，她的作品从来没有得到应有的读者群，原因很简单，大部分作品从未出版过。我正在为Carcanet出版社编辑她的诗集。将于2006年出版，其中约一半的作品以前从未印刷过。这些诗歌异乎寻常地多种多样：它们包括儿童诗歌、专辑诗歌、埃斯库罗斯和卢克莱修斯的翻译、爱情诗、宗教诗歌，以及关于骑士主题的长篇不完整的诗歌。这些诗歌雄心勃勃，成就斐然，远非业余：她是在夏洛特·史密斯职业生涯结束和伊丽莎白·巴雷特的状态之间写作的最好的女性诗人之一。至少，在我们最近对19世纪初至中期女性诗歌的重新评估中，她的诗意之声值得作为一个重要的声音被听到--例如，与希曼和莱尔并驾齐驱。作为一名诗人，她是一位杰出而严谨的文学批评家，她的阅读范围广泛，对诗歌、小说、政治和宗教的看法也很广泛。我一直在与Cacanet就编辑Sara Coleridge的文学评论配套卷一事进行谈判，前景看起来非常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.
