Autorenporträt
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet, critic, philosopher, and theologian who, alongside his close friend William Wordsworth, was a foundational figure in the English Romantic Movement. Coleridge's contribution to the literary world spans beyond his renowned lyrical ballads and includes significant work as a Shakespearean scholar. His lectures on Shakespeare and other poets of the Elizabethan era crystallized in his literary criticism, most notably in his work 'Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher', which showcases his insightful analysis and engagement with the text of these great playwrights. Known for his imaginative poetry and profound thought, Coleridge penned classics like 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan'. His exploration into the depths of human consciousness and the supernatural influenced not just poetry, but also philosophical thought and literary critique in the 19th century. Coleridge's poetic diction and imaginative power combined with a deep scholarly rigor make his contributions to English literature both unique and enduring. His literary style is characterized by its rich imagery, supernatural themes, and innovative exploration of the human psyche, which has had a lasting impact on both poetic form and critical analysis.
