About The Author
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was educated at Christ’s Hospital, London and Jesus College, Cambridge. Close collaboration with Wordsworth resulted in a joint production of the volume Lyrical Ballads in 1798, which contained Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’, signposting the Romantic movement. After wintering in Germany in 1797-8 he settled in the Lake District, where he wrote the ‘Letter’ that turned into ‘Dejection: An Ode’ (1802). In later years Coleridge turned increasingly to prose, covering philosophical, political, religious and critical subjects, although new poems continued to appear in most years until his death.
