Autorenporträt
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a towering figure in English literature, a founding member of the Romantic Movement, whose influence endures in the realms of poetry, criticism, and philosophy. Born on October 21, 1772, in Devonshire, England, Coleridge's early works were suffused with the revolutionary spirit and the intellectual vigor that marked the turn of the nineteenth century. His oeuvre synthesized a deep introspection of the human spirit with an abiding love for the transcendent and the sublime. Among his most notable works are 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Kubla Khan,' and 'Christabel,' which are exemplary of his masterful use of vivid imagery and exploration of the unconscious. Beyond poetry, his critical work, particularly 'Biographia Literaria,' has been heralded for its profound impact on literary theory, asserting the importance of imagination in the creative process. Coleridge's prose collection 'Anima Poetæ,' posthumously compiled from his notebooks, offers a glimpse into his extensive ruminations on art, poetics, and philosophy. His literary style is characterized by its emotive language, ethereal themes, and innovative use of meter and rhyme. Despite personal struggles with opium addiction, Coleridge's vast intellectual pursuits, including his lectures and extensive correspondences, have cemented his legacy as a versatile scholar and a seminal poet of the English Romantic tradition. He died on July 25, 1834, leaving behind a rich, multifaceted body of work that continues to be studied and admired.
