Text of Note

This thesis is an introspective study of the life of Sarah Fricker Coleridge, abandoned wife of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Her life within a family unit, from birth and throughout her adulthood, is telling of how women chose to rely on extended families (or, as I call them, networks of obligation) when male providers (fathers and husbands, in particular) could not make a financially stable home. The opportunity to live in a middling class home and raise her children in such a household pushed Sarah to make sacrifices that were difficult by modern and Georgian standards alike. These types of hardships are, nevertheless, meagre when compared to the trials of divorce in Georgian England, particularly for women. Sarah's position in a circle of famous authors is what has preserved the particulars of her life, allowing contemporary readers to become more familiar with the intimate world of abandoned wives.
