S. T. (Samuel Taylor) Coleridge, J. Payne (John Payne) (ed.) CollierPublished 1856

8vo. ff. 202, pp. [8], cxx, 276. Original cloth. Two (or three) books in one, linked only by the fact that the parts were published together as Collier’s response to a single accusation of fraudulent behavior, made in late 1855 by Andrew Edmund Brae. Collier might have hoped to stifle the attacks upon the Perkins Folio, by associating under one respectable publisher’s flag the fraudulent 1632 Folio evidence with that of Coleridge’s genuine 1811-1812 lectures on Shakespeare, and by floating in a general counterattack on his enemies under cover of the latter. The preface to the work embodies an astonishing range of literary and historical ‘dubia’ and ‘spuria.’ See A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, pp. 670-674, 679-691; II, A87. <a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991039186389707861" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a>
