Synopsis

This book is part of the "Everyman" series which has been re-set with wide margins and easy-to-read type and includes a themed introduction, a chronology of the life and times of the author, notes and selected criticism. This is a selection of Coleridge's most important poems, revealing psychological insight, extraordinary imagination, philosophical leaps and depth of feeling. His unique evocation of the full destructive power of man's own creative demon in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", down to the curiosity of a small film of soot on a grate are revealed in this volume. The text is based on a close examination of the earliest editions, and Coleridge's illuminating amendments to his poetry over the years are traced.

From the Inside Flap

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was the master impresario of English Romanticism -- an enormously erudite and tireless critic, lecturer, and polemicist who almost single-handedly created the intellectual climate in which the Romantic movement was received and understood. He was also, in poems such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, ' 'Christabel, ' and 'Kubla Khan.' the most uncanny, surreal, and startling of the great English poets.
