O autorze
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) remains one of the most significant figures in British literature, a poet, literary critic, philosopher, and a founder of the Romantic Movement in England. Coleridge’s oeuvre spans a wide array of themes and forms, combining meditative lyrics with revolutionary political ideas and theories of the imagination. His most notable work, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ (1798), is a seminal piece that showcases his capacity for deep symbolism, innovative use of language, and exploration of the supernatural. Along with poems like 'Kubla Khan’ (1816) and 'Christabel’ (1816), these works underscore Coleridge’s mastery of evocative and lyrical prose. Thoughtfully thematic in his work, Coleridge delved into topics of nature, the sublime, and the metaphysical, often through a lens of personal introspection and mythic allegory. Additionally, his series of conversational poems, including 'The Eolian Harp’ (1795) and 'Frost at Midnight’ (1798), reflect his nuanced reflections on the human relationship with nature and the divine. His collaboration with William Wordsworth on 'Lyrical Ballads’ (1798), arguably one of the most influential poetry collections of the time, signaled the dawn of Romanticism in English literature. Coleridge’s critical works, particularly 'Biographia Literaria’ (1817), further reveal his profound impact as a thinker and a critic, offering insight into the craft of writing and the workings of the poetic imagination. His complex weaving of thought and emotion in poetry secures his legacy as a towering figure of literary romanticism.
