Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher and theologian who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria.

Coleridge is one of the most important figures in English poetry. His poems directly and deeply influenced all the major poets of the age. Coleridge is probably best known for his long poems, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel. Even those who have never read the Rime have come under its influence. The

Conversation poems

• The Eolian Harp (1795)
• Reflections on having left a Place of Retirement (1795)
• This Lime-Tree Bower my Prison (1797)
• Frost at Midnight (1798)
• Fears in Solitude (1798)
• The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem (1798)
• Dejection: An Ode (1802)
• To William Wordsworth (1807)    

In addition to his poetry, Coleridge also wrote influential pieces of literary criticism including Biographia Literaria, a collection of his thoughts and opinions on literature which he published in 1817. The work delivered both biographical explanations of the author's life as well as his impressions on literature. The collection also contained an analysis of a broad range of philosophical principles of literature ranging from Aristotle to Immanuel Kant and Schelling and applied them to the poetry of peers such as William Wordsworth.
