One of the great figures of English Romanticism, Coleridge's poems show diversity and imaginative genius.

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 My 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". William Keach is Professor of English at Brown University in Rhode Island. He has published many books and articles on Renaissance and Romantic literature.
