In "Poems of Coleridge," Samuel Taylor Coleridge encapsulates the essence of Romantic poetry, characterized by its deep emotional resonance and rich imaginative landscapes. This collection navigates the complexities of nature, the supernatural, and the human psyche, showcasing Coleridge's mastery of language and lyrical form. With works such as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan," the poems blur the boundaries between reality and dream, drawing readers into a world where the sublime and eerie coexist. Distinguished for their innovative use of meter and structure, Coleridge's verses reflect the turbulence of the era, engaging with themes like the tension between the industrial age and the natural world. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), a central figure in the English Romantic movement, was deeply influenced by his philosophical inquiries, particularly in the realms of idealism and aesthetics. His lifelong struggle with addiction and the pursuit of transcendental experiences infused his poetry with a profound sense of longing and introspection. Coleridge's friendships with other luminaries such as William Wordsworth further shaped his poetic voice, propelling him to explore the complexities of spirituality and imagination in a rapidly changing society. I highly recommend "Poems of Coleridge" to readers seeking a deep, contemplative experience that challenges conventional perception. This collection not only illuminates the inner workings of the Romantic imagination but also invites reflection on the enduring impacts of nature and the subconscious. Engaging with Coleridge's poetry provides an enriching encounter with the complexities of the human spirit, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of English literature.

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.
