Looking at the two together, Haney shows through his reading of Coleridge, can enrich our understanding of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Haney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 027102786X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271027869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.74d","brand":"David Haney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483443998975,"sku":"9780271027869","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87bcba8b-9155-470c-a01b-46c0f4f5b3ea.jpg?v=1778038777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-and-philosophy-david-haney-9780271027869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
