Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) 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. Coleridge is best known for his long visionary poems, including 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan,' which are exemplars of his innovative use of symbolism and mysticism that are characteristic of Romantic literature. His biographical works, however, such as 'The Life and Legacy of Coleridge: Biographical Works,' offer deep insight into his life. From his adventurous youth, opium addiction, and dynamic friendships to his evolving philosophical thought and contributions to literary theory, Coleridge's life was intricate and influential. His prose includes the 'Biographia Literaria,' a seminal work in the field of literary criticism, where he developed key doctrines including the distinction between fancy and imagination. As co-creator of 'Lyrical Ballads,' a collection that heralded a new era for English poetry, Coleridge sought to employ the language of ordinary speech in poems dealing with supernatural subjects. His literary style combined an intense personal engagement with broader philosophical exploration, setting a standard in the annals of English literature and making him a paramount figure of his time.
