Autorenporträt
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, born on October 21, 1772, in Ottery St Mary, Devonshire, was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher, and a founder of the Romantic Movement in England. His contributions to the literary world have created a lasting legacy. Coleridge's lyrical gifts, critical insight, and philosophical depth are reflected in a range of works including poetry, essays, and lectures. Best known for works such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan,' Coleridge also composed 'Biographia Literaria,' a seminal piece of literary criticism. In 'Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit and Some Miscellaneous Pieces,' he delves into theological critique and reflection, showcasing his intellectual engagement with the religious discourses of his time. Coleridge's style often melded his erudite knowledge with a deep fascination for the supernatural, nature, and the profound aspects of the human mind. His thoughts on poetic theory, imagination, and the unity of aesthetics and philosophy significantly influenced his contemporaries and later literary scholars and writers. Despite grappling with opium addiction which affected his health and productivity, Coleridge's work remains an integral part of English literary heritage. He passed away on July 25, 1834, in Highgate, London, but his influence endures in the literary canon and in the Romantic ethos he helped to shape.
