Coleridge (1772-1834), the son of a clergyman, \"was born and died a communicating member of the Church of England.\" He was a prolific writer on the subject of the relationship between church and state. At age twenty-three, Coleridge published his first theological work, \u003ci\u003eLectures on Revealed Religion\u003c\/i\u003e, which focused on the concept of reason facilitating virtue. Luke Wright maintains that this theme unites Coleridge's theological writings, including the posthumous \u003ci\u003eConfessions of an Inquiring Spirit\u003c\/i\u003e (1935). Although he was an advocate of radical politics in the 1790s, by the time Coleridge published \u003ci\u003eThe Friend\u003c\/i\u003e (1809), he had become high Tory. His major contribution to Anglican religious discourse was the revival of the Tory position on church and state, which saw the two as an organic unity rather than separate entities forming an alliance. His writings were vigorously opposed to the Court Whig theory of church and state. After Coleridge's death in 1834, his arguments were taken up by William Gladstone and carried forward. Wright's careful reconstruction of Coleridge's dedication to church-state issues provides a new perspective on the writer himself and on the intellectual history of early nineteenth-century England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuke Savin Herrick Wright is a visiting scholar in the Corcoran Department of History, University of Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 31, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45305081397350,"sku":"9780268044183","price":65.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/U3NuWUxKZnFQQS9QeVJ1ZXF1eEJMZz09.webp?v=1774047035","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/samuel-taylor-coleridge-and-the-anglican-church-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
