Abstract

James’s thinking about ‘The Coxon Fund’ began in his response to the Dykes Campbell biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was struck by the interest of the Coleridge ‘type’ — a man of genius who is, nevertheless, undisciplined, unproductive, and socially and morally objectionable. Though he found Campbell’s book good he thought it would have been better with more attention to ‘the power of evocation’. The Coleridge character was ‘a wonderful, admirable figure — for a pictorial treatment’ (Notebooks, ed. Matthiessen and Murdock, 1961, p. 152).KeywordsCritical JudgementHumorous ViewYoung American WomanNorth American LiteraturePictorial TreatmentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
