Since the early nineteenth century, various works of literature, literary theory,
criticism, philosophy, and other forms of art have faced a sudden change which has
raised contradictions and suspense. This upheaval is represented also by fragmentary
writing. The list of fragmentary artists is long, starting from Romantic thinkers and
writers, such as Schlegel, Keats, and Coleridge, to the Modern and Postmodern ones,
such as Adorno, Beckett, Blanchot, and others. The present study focuses on
Coleridge’s aesthetic doctrine as influenced by German philosophy and as containing
ideas on the essence and kind of poetry, the concept of “organicity” of the poetic
work, as well as on the source, function and purpose of poetry, and specifically on
Coleridge’s Kubla Khan, Or, a Vision in a Dream. A Fragment as the expression of
his concern with the fragility of poetic imagination which in fact shapes the
fragmentary character of his poem.
