Coleridge: Poems: Introduction by John Beer (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series) - Hardcover

An attractive, pocket-book collection offers a generous selection of the greatest work of the Romantic poet containing his best-known images, including such classics as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Kubla Khan," and "Christabel."

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.
