Originally released in wraps, condition was prone to deteriorate with enthusiastic reading before being hard bound Additional photos seen at our website**Author SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1722-1834), premier English Romantic poet, was a close friend of Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Mary Shelley. The group were famous for their post-prandial readings of Romantic stories and poems. One notable incident recalls Byron reading Coleridge's "Christabel" and frightening Shelley into a panic attack. Mary Shelly suffered a nightmare at one of those gatherings and subsequently wrote her 1818 masterpiece, "Frankenstein". ** The three poems in this book, all with the poet's preface remarks, represent some of the best, most anthologized work of STC. The title poem "Christabel" tells of a spirit-adjacent woman in white found in the woods by Christabel, the daughter of the ailing Lord Leonine. Her arrival in the castle brings about the revelation of a dark secret, which Christabel is enchanted to prevent from revealing. She nonetheless tries to warn her father to send the stranger away - but to no avail. **The unfinished "Kubla Khan" tells of the palace built in Xanadu by the Chinese warrior emperor Kublai Khan (1215 -1294) describing, in a dreamlike state, the walled gardens of the palace; a "savage place", "holy and inchanted." The poem is both an enchantment and a warning.**Finally, "The Pains of Sleep" is based on the poet's frequent real life nightmares, caused both by his extensive use of opium, and later by the effects of opium withdrawal. Coleridge's final wish is simply this: "To be Beloved is all I need, And whom I love, I love indeed."**The book features a really interesting LITERARY HISTORY ASSOCIATION. The original owner of the volume, Sir James Dalrymple-Hay, 2nd. Baronet (1788-1861) lived in the 16th-century tower house inherited by his father, the first baronet. (The Hay name was appended to this branch of the Dalrymple family in 1794 upon the death of the second baronet's father-in-law, Sir Thomas Hay of Park.) Park Place, or the Castle of Park, is located in Glenluce, outside the Royal Burgh of Wigtown, in modern Dumfries and Galloway, on the southwest coast of Scotland. Antiquarian Richard Pococke visited in 1760, describing it as "a castle most beautifully situated on a ridge which is at the foot of hill, having towards the river a steep hanging ground covered with wood, and a more gentle descent southwards to the meadows on the bay adorned with trees." (Kemp, p.13.) This lowland, mainly agricultural area was written about extensively by nearby author Sir Walter Scott in various of his famous nineteenth -century "Waverley" novels. Scott's "Introduction" to his 1819 work, "The Bride of Lammermoor," explains the real-life origin of the novel associated with a SCANDAL regarding the family of the first Earl of Stair, Sir John Dalrymple(1648-1707,) a forebear of our book's owner, styled James Dalrymple, 1st Viscount of Stair, Lord Glenluce and Stranraer, 1st Baronet (1619-1695). In the novel, a young woman, Lucy Ashton, is forced by her conniving mother to break off with her true love, The Master of Ravenswood, in order to marry a more wealthy man, Lord Rutherford. Wedding night violence saw the bride gripped with what the family claimed was necromancy-fuelled evil in the bridal chamber. The new husband saw an early tragic demise. This was apparently based on a real-life scandal involving members of the Dalrymple family, whom Scott knew of and was distantly related to through aquaintances of his wife. All this is explained in Scott's own words in his Introduction to the novel, published three years after the release of "Christabel" in 1816. Literary historian Coleman O. Parsons provides several interesting retellings of the facts as related in his 1934 article cited below. Sir John Dalrymple-Hay, 3rd Bart., sold the Castle of Park in 1875. It seems clear that the Castle of Park in Glenluce is the setting in which the real tragedy of the Dalrymple family occurred in the seventeenth century. Literary historians can debate the similarities between the Poem "Christabel " and this real-life tragedy; simply put, they both concern a baron in a castle near the Scottish border with England, a daughter on the verge of marriage, and tragedy tinged with superstition.*****Refs.: European Heraldry, "House of Dalrymple."

First Edition
First edition. Bound in full red polished calf by Zaehnsdorf: gilt ruled on the boards, marbled end papers, all edge gilt. Bound without the half-title or ads. With the armorial bookplate of Duff Cooper, First Viscount Norwich, on the front paste-down. A bit of rubbing along the outer joint, but holding well. A few spots of foxing internally, mostly on the binder's blanks. A lovely copy of one of Coleridge's best works. Mythical in both its content and creation, Kubla Khan emerged from one of Coleridge's laudanum induced dreams. By his own account, Coleridge dreamt of the Mongol emperor not in his historical context as a tyrant, but as a figure of contradiction and artistic complexity. "Coleridge's Khan is a kind of artist, summoning into being with a God-like command not only the beauty of the pleasure-dome but the ordered loveliness of its cultivated gardens, full of sweet smells and tinkling streams, all sheltered from the outside world by robust â walls and towers'" (Perry). The final product is a poem hailed as one of Coleridge's greatest, and a landmark of Romanticism.

First Edition
8vo, pp. vii, [i], 64; bound third in a volume with nine other poems (see below); a fine and attractive volume in early calf, the covers stamped in basket-weave pattern, spine richly gilt, morocco label, marbled endpapers and edges. (Upper joint beginning to crack, othewise in very good condition.) Early armorial bookplate of the Rev. W.W. Holland, Chichester, and manuscript list of contents (perhaps in his hand) on free endpaper. A splendid volume of poetry, nicely presented with the spine labelled 'Minor Poems'. This is true for all but one of the pamphlets here - nobody today would describe either Christabel or Kubla Khan as 'minor' - but the accompanying poems certainly put Coleridge's two masterpieces into context. All the publications in this volume were issued by the firm of John Murray, at the time when it stood highest among London publishers: Byron was Murray's greatest success, of course, but Scott and Jane Austen were being published by him at exactly this time, as well as many other authors of lesser importance. This collection must have been assembled by going into 50 Albemarle St and picking out a number of current pamphlets that would have interested the buyer. On the other hand, they could well be a present from the publisher: the first owner was the Rev. William Woollams Holland (1785-1855), educated at Oxford and at this time vicar-choral at Chichester Cathedral. More importantly, he was married to Jane Murray (b. 1780), known as Jenny, elder sister of the publisher: they had at least one son, John Murray Holland (1818-77), who was a fellow of New College Oxford, and who followed his father into the church. When the elder John Murray had died in 1793, Jenny and her mother and sisters had gone to live in Shropshire, where she met and married Willam Holland in 1809, but she retained an interest in the family business: Zachs notes that she and her elder brother John were actively pursuing the firm's assets in 1800, at about the time that John gained effective control.
