One of the major figures of English Romanticism, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) created works of remarkable diversity and imaginative genius. The period of his creative friendship with William Wordsworth inspired some of Coleridge s best-known poems, from the nightmarish vision of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner and the opium-inspired Kubla Khan to the sombre passion of Dejection: An Ode and the medieval ballad Christabel . His meditative conversation poems, such as Frost at Midnight and This Lime-Tree Bower Mr Prison , reflect on remembrance and solitude, while late works, such as Youth and Age and Constancy to an Ideal Object , are haunting meditations on mortality and lost love.
About the Author
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834) was one of the first figures of the Romantic movement, and a poet, philosopher and critic. His close friendship with Dorothy and William Wordsworth, whom he met in 1797, led to the publication of the "Lyrical Ballads", which marked a conscious break with poetic tradition and includes one of Coleridge s most famous poems, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
