About this title

Synopsis

This edition contains a complete and authoritative text of Coleridge's poems. Here are his earliest extant teenage poems, his masterly meditative pieces, and the extraordinary "Kubla Khan", "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", and "Christabel". The poems are printed, so far as possible, in chronological order, with Coleridge's own notes as well as textual and bibliographical notes by the editor.

About the Author

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) studied Classics at Jesus College, Cambridge. As a radical young poet he collaborated with Wordsworth in Lyrical Ballads (1798). He was by turns poet, dramatist, political journalist, essayist, and public lecturer. Chronic ill health and addiction to opium led to his death in 1834.
