Pointed Remarks: Scholasticism and the Gothic in the English Counter-Enlightenment‪.‬

While history in prose and verse was ... made the instrument of Church feelings and opinions, a philosophical basis for the same was laid in England by a very original thinker, who ... instilled a higher philosophy into inquiring minds, than they had hitherto been accustomed to accept. In this way [Coleridge] made trial of his age, and succeeded in interesting its genius in the cause of Catholic truth. --Cardinal Newman, Apologia Pro Vita Sua 105 (1)
