Biographia Literaria, Or, Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions, Part 1Biographia Literaria has emerged over the last century as a supreme work of literary criticism and one of the classics of English literature.

Following the text of the 1817 edition, the editors offer the first completely annotated edition of the highly allusive work. |
