Abstract

Another Coleridge

The article discusses books and authors. By reason of the strange territories which English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge's imagination explored in his poetry, the contrast between his works and his restricted middle-class life has always seemed peculiarly marked by pathos and tragedy. The popular view of the man who wrote four of the finest poems in the English language and one of the first masterpieces of modern literature has been of a frustrated individual whose years, except for a brief period of brilliant creative activity, were spent in ill-fated pursuits or under the shadow of incapacity and mental decay.
