Christabel: and Other Poems (The Lightbound Library)

In the moonlit wood at midnight, a maiden meets a stranger who is not what she seems.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Christabel is one of the great unfinished poems of English Romanticism - a spellbinding gothic tale of innocence, enchantment, and the mysterious Geraldine, whose gathering menace has haunted readers for two centuries. This edition leads with that fragment and gathers the essential Coleridge alongside it.

Here are the visionary landscapes of Kubla Khan and its "stately pleasure-dome," the guilt and albatross of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the aching self-reckoning of Dejection: An Ode, and the quiet tenderness of Frost at Midnight. Together these classic Romantic poems trace the full range of one of the founders of the movement, from supernatural dread to the deepest introspection.
