About the author
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who, alongside his close friend William Wordsworth, was a foundational figure in the English Romantic movement. His contributions to literature and thought extend beyond his most famous poems, ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ and ‘Kubla Khan.’ Coleridge’s inquisitive, intellectual spirit led him to pen a plethora of works, including ‘Hints towards the formation of a more comprehensive theory of life, ‘ which reveals his engagement with philosophical and scientific debates of his time. In this lesser-known treatise, Coleridge wrestles with the profound question of life’s principle, intersecting his poetic sensibilities with discourses in natural philosophy. His unique literary style can be characterized by its lyrical intensity, rich imagery, and deep-seated metaphysical inquiries, which frequently reflect his fascination with the natural world and the human psyche. Coleridge’s extensive oeuvre also includes ‘Biographia Literaria, ‘ an autobiographical work that offers invaluable insights into his literary theories and the Romantic movement. A master of prose and poetry, Coleridge’s complex, meditative, and visionary works continue to captivate scholars and readers, securing his place in the canon of English literature.
