organic form

organic form

      the structure of a work that has grown naturally from the author's subject and materials as opposed to that of a work shaped by and conforming to artificial rules. The concept was developed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Coleridge, Samuel Taylor) to counter the arguments of those who claimed that the works of William Shakespeare were formless.
