In 'Poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth,' readers are invited to explore the profound synergies and individual brilliance of two pivotal figures of the Romantic movement. The anthology traverses a landscape of poetic forms and themes—from the sublime natural vistas and meditative solitudes to the fervent critique of industrial society. The collection showcases a range of stylistic innovations that marked a departure from the classical rigidity of 18th-century poetry, presenting pieces that are both introspective and radically visionary. The assembling of works by Coleridge and Wordsworth underscores a significant collaboration that helped define early 19th-century British literature. Wordsworth's detailed portrayals of nature and simplistic beauty contrast sharply with Coleridge's darker, more mystical inclinations, providing an enriching dialogue within the volume. This anthology not only mirrors the personal evolution of each poet but also echoes the broader socio-cultural milieu of the Romantic era, capturing the essence of an age keen on individualism, emotion, and a deeper connection with nature. This anthology represents an unparalleled opportunity for literary enthusiasts and scholars alike to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Romantic poetry. Each poem unfolds layer upon layer of thematic depth and stylistic complexity, promoting a rigorous examination of the interplay between human experience and natural environment. As such, the collection is indispensable for those seeking to grasp the roots of Romanticism and the enduring influence of its principal luminaries.

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth was born on 7 April 1770 at Cockermouth, in the English Lake District, the son of a lawyer. He was one of five children and developed a close bond with his only sister, Dorothy, whom he lived with for most of his life. At the age of 17, shortly after the deaths of his parents, Wordsworth went to St John’s College, Cambridge, and after graduating travelled to Revolutionary France.

Upon returning to England he published his first poem and devoted himself wholly to writing. He became great friends with other Romantic poets and collaborated with Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Lyrical Ballads. In 1843, he succeeded Robert Southey as Poet Laureate and died in the year ‘Prelude’ was finally published, 1850.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

One of the great figures of the Romantic age, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 1834) is known both for his poetry and prose, and for producing Lyrical Ballads with William Wordsworth, a work which revolutionized English poetry.

Plagued by debts and laudanum addiction, he left many pieces unfinished, yet his extraordinary influence was felt in literary figures as diverse as Wordsworth, Mary Shelley and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
