Synopsis

This wide-ranging collection gathers together the major poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his children Hartley, Derwent, and Sara, his nephew Henry Nelson, his grandchildren Christabel Rose and Ernest Hartley, and his great-great-niece Mary—in all, 201 poems (plus one by the family friend Wordsworth). Alongside famous classics such as The Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and Christabel, the collection reflects recent trends in Coleridge studies and includes dozens of fascinating pieces never previously recorded. Marie Blackmore’s readings highlight the sheer musicality notable in many of these poems.

About Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834), working in close collaboration with William Wordsworth (1770–1850), revolutionized English poetry by the use of ordinary language and direct observation of nature. His work in literary criticism, philosophy, and theology was almost equally influential. His children Hartley (1796–1849), Derwent (1800–1883), and Sara (1802–1852) inherited much of his poetic ability, which could also be seen in several of his other relatives.

About William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth (1770–1850) was an influential English poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped launch the Romantic Age of English literature with the 1798 joint publication of Lyrical Ballads. He was Britain’s Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850.

About Hartley Coleridge

Hartley Coleridge (19 September 1796 – 6 January 1849) was an English poet, biographer, essayist, and teacher. He was the eldest son of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

About Mary Coleridge

Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907) was a British novelist and poet who also wrote essays and reviews. She taught at the London Working Women’s College for twelve years from 1895 to 1907. She wrote poetry under the pseudonym Anodos, taken from George MacDonald; other influences on her were Richard Watson Dixon and Christina Rossetti. Robert Bridges, the poet laureate, described her poems as “wonderously beautiful…but mystical rather and enigmatic.”
