Autorenporträt
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who played a pivotal role in the Romantic movement. Coleridge is best known for his enduring works such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' which is a masterpiece of supernaturalism that weaves a tale of penance and redemption. His collaboration with William Wordsworth in the publication of 'Lyrical Ballads' in 1798 marked a decisive moment in the emergence of Romantic literature, breaking from the classical poetic forms and themes that had previously dominated the literary scene. Coleridge's work is characterized by its rich imagery, intricate symbolism, and exploration of nature, the human mind, and the metaphysical. His other notable works include 'Kubla Khan' and 'Christabel', which further cemented his reputation as a preeminent poet of the Romantic age. In addition to his poetic achievements, Coleridge was an influential literary critic, especially well-regarded for his lectures on Shakespeare. Despite his struggles with opium addiction, which influenced his often erratic career, Coleridge's intellectual contributions to literary theory, particularly in the field of aesthetics and his concept of the imagination, have had a lasting impact on literary criticism. 'Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Select Poems' compiles some of his most esteemed poetry, reflecting the depth and breadth of his literary prowess.
