Of this famed Poet, Wikipedia states: "Samuel Taylor Coleridge (/ ko l r d / KOH-l -rij;[1] 21 October 1772 25 July 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. He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd." Notably, the work was the author's longest major Poem, and was first published
in 1798 in the first edition of "Lyrical Ballads" by Wordsworth and Coleridge. Coleridge wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria. His critical work, especially on William Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking cultures. Coleridge coined many familiar words and phrases, including "suspension of disbelief". He had a major influence on Ralph Waldo Emerson and American transcendentalism."
An altogether nice copy of this famed work.
