Excerpt from The German Influence on Samuel Taylor Coleridge: An Abridgment of a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Early in January, Coleridge wrotel to Poole that he in tended to proceed to Gottingen and undertake some lucra tive work. He proposed to write a Life of Lessing, with an account of the rise and present state of German literature. Moreover, he declared that he had already written a little life from three different biographies, and intended to read all of Lessing's works at Gottingen in chronological order. Coleridge left Ratzeburg on February 6, and, after a short stay at Hanover, reached Gottingen on the 12th, carrying letters of introduction to Professors Heyne and Blumen bach. A few days later he matriculated at the University and began serious study. Coleridge's record of his own industry is well known.2 His preparation for a Life of Lessing was supplemented by extensive reading of meta physics, which soon held him with a relentless grasp. After three months of study, he j oined a small party of friends for the memorable ascent of the Brocken which resulted in a most exquisite literary memorial - his Fragment of a four nal of a Tour over the Bracken.3 At Elbingerode, Cole ridge wrote the lines beginning, I stood on Brocken's sov ran height in the inn album. After visiting Blankenburg, Werningerode, Goslar, and Klausthal, the party returned to Gottingen.
