The Complete Poetical Works: Of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Including Poems and Versions of Poems... Edited with Textual and Bibliographical Notes by Ernest Hartley Coleridge,... Vol. 1 : Poems [- Vol. 2 : Dramatic Works and Appendices].

Published in 1912 by Oxford University Press, this two-volume set represents the definitive scholarly effort of the early twentieth century to compile the canon of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The edition was prepared by Ernest Hartley Coleridge, the poet's grandson, who dedicated years to gathering, collating, and annotating the manuscripts. His work was intended to consolidate the scattered versions of the poems and clarify the complex textual history of works like 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Christabel'.

The design of the collection reflects the academic standards of the Clarendon Press at the time, prioritizing clarity, extensive bibliographic apparatus, and a somber, formal aesthetic suitable for a scholarly reference. It was received by the literary community as a monumental achievement in textual criticism, effectively replacing previous, less comprehensive editions and becoming the primary source for Coleridge scholars for several decades thereafter.
