Author of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', 'Kubla Khan' and
'Christabel', and co-author with Wordsworth of Lyrical Ballads in
1798, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the great writers and
thinkers of the Romantic revolution. This innovative introduction
discusses his interest in language and his extraordinary private
notebooks, as well as his poems, his literary criticism and his
biography. John Worthen presents a range of readings of Coleridge's
work, along with biographical context and historical background.
Discussion of Coleridge's notebooks alongside his poems illuminates
this rich material and finds it a way into his creativity. Readers are
invited to see Coleridge as an immensely self-aware, witty and
charismatic writer who, although damaged by an opium habit, responded
to and in his turn influenced the literary, political, religious and
scientific thinking of his time.
