Chapter 30 -- Down to a Sunless Sea In a note to The Botanic Garden (1791, the frontispiece to the right), English naturalist Erasmus Darwin describes a "romantic common" where two rivers disappear into the earth: Near the village of Wetton, a mile or two above Dove-Dale, near Ashburn, in Derbyshire, there is a spacious cavern about the middle of the ascent of the mountain, which still retains the name of Thor's House; below it is an extensive and romantic common, where the rivers Hamps and Manifold sink into the earth, and rise again in Ham gardens, the seat of John Port, Esq. about three miles below. The figure "Caverns and Mighty Fountains" from John Whitehurst's An Inquiry into the Original State and Formation of the Earth; Deduced from Facts and the Laws of Nature (1786) is to the right. Whitehurst describes the same subterranean river in terms foreshadowing images in "Kubla Khan." The mountains of Derbyshire, and the moorlands of Staffordshire appear to be so many heaps of ruins... They are broken, dislocated, and thrown into every possible direction, and their interior parts are no less rude and romantic; for they universally abound with subterraneous caverns; and, in short, with every possible mark of violence. The caverns near Buxton and Castleton, and the subterraneous rivers, the Manifold and the Hamps, are familiar instances of the present state and condition of those parts of the globe. The former river, after a passage of four or five miles from the north, and the latter about the same distance from the west both emerge at the foot of the same cliff, in the garden of John Port, Esq. of Ham, about the distance of twenty yards from each other. Coleridge would have likely have toured the emergence during a visit to Derby in August 1796. We can, in fact, tour the site today. During the dry months, the River Hamps flows southward from the moorlands of Derbyshire until it disappears in limestone terrain, reappearing six kilometers downstream at Ilam Park. The River Manifold disappears in the west and upwells at nearly the same location.

Chapter 30 -- Down to a Sunless Sea The Manifold upwelling Anthony Harding's review of McKusick's essay the Coleridge Bulletin (21), Spring 2003, however, finds such scientific basis of Coleridge to be "rather uneven." The attempt to read “Kubla Khan” as a compendium of geological speculation is, well, speculative. It is certainly true that Coleridge hoped to write “an epic poem that would integrate the lore of ‘universal science’ into a coherent narrative form,” but to conclude that in “Kubla Khan,” Coleridge was starting that poem -- “a scientific epic in the genre of Darwin’s Botanic Garden” -- is to go beyond what the evidence will support. To take images and terms that were also used by geologists -- river, sea, cavern, hill, chasm, and so on -- as proof that this is a “scientific epic” is persuasive only so long as we ignore evidence that Coleridge was drawing upon a huge range of other sources: the Bible, travel literature [including an account of Florida's sinkholes [Chapter 40], archaeology, mythography, ancient history, ethnography, and so on. McKusick seems determined to hunt for any connection, no matter how flimsy, that might link the poem with geology: so, he makes much of the term “fragment” (used in the 1816 running title), observing pedantically that this term “had a distinct geological sense,”, and he connects "chasm" with the story of the Fall via John Whitehurst, a geologist cited in the notes to The Botanic Garden, since Whitehurst “asserted that the... Edenic state of human society was replaced by a fallen state” resulting from a flood. Coleridge was versed, for example, in the divine framework of Thomas Burnet's Telluris Theoria Sacra (1694, Chapter 13, Hydrotheology/Theohydrology). While Coleridge may have intended a poetic nod to both 19th century Neptunian and Plutonian geology, his stream of thought remains significantly metaphysical.
