Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) wrote the famous poems “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” and “Kubla Khan,” but he was also an influential philosopher, literary critic, and forerunner of transcendentalism. This 1884 biographical study explores his life and works, divided into Coleridge’s “Poetical,” “Critical,” and “Metaphysical and Theological” periods.
