The Pleasures of Imagination was first published in 1744: many editions followed, continuing to appear long after Akenside’s death in 1771. The poem was to exercise a significant influence both upon Coleridge's thinking at an especially formative period, and upon Wordsworth's style as he began the Prelude in 1798. This reissue of 1795 is introduced by the Unitarian poet Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Coleridge's predecessor as a follower of Joseph Priestley.

The pleasures of imagination
The earlier poems are lyrical, joyous marvels. The 50s and 60s are drier, rooted in metaphysics and dogma (though constantly ceding centre stage to the natural world and immanent forces behind it). But the crown is a long, deeply felt, tragic sequence of 130 short poems where she works through the death of Gavin Maxwell and her unrequited life-long passion for him. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
