Summary

About The Author

Samuel Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834) was one of the first figures of the Romantic movement, and a poet, philosopher and critic. His close friendship with Dorothy and William Wordsworth, whom he met in 1797, led to the publication of the “Lyrical Ballads”, which marked a conscious break with poetic tradition and includes one of Coleridge’s most famous poems, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”.

William Keach is Professor of English at Brown University in Rhode Island. He has published many books and articles on Renaissance and Romantic literature.
