Synopsis

Coleridge: A Life offers a thorough, chronological portrait of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poetry, friendships, and struggles.

This edition gathers a wide view of his life, from early promise to late years, through the lens of biographies and contemporary accounts. The book traces how Coleridge’s work and ideas grew with his friendships and travels, and it presents the pressures and choices that shaped his path as a writer and public figure. It balances detail with accessible narrative, helping readers understand the context of his most famous poems and the energy of his times.

• Chronicles key relationships that influenced his poetry and thought.
• Relates major life events, travels, and creative projects in a clear sequence.
• Explains how personal challenges intersect with literary output and influence.
• Offers insights into the public and private sides of a major English poet.

Ideal for readers of literary biography who want a grounded, readable account of Coleridge’s life and work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

De Quincey enumerates the multiform attainments and powers of Coleridge, and the corresponding varieties of demand made by them on any one who should aspire to become this many-sided mans biographer. The description is slightly touched with the humorous hyperbole characteristic of its author; but it is in substance just, and I cannot but wish that it were possible, within the limits of a preface, to set out the whole of it in excuse for the many inevitable shortcomings of this volume. Having thus made an exhibit of it, there would only remain to add that the difficulties with which De Quincey confronts an intending biographer of Coleridge must necessarily be multiplied many-fold by the conditions under which this work is here attempted. No complete biography of Coleridge, at least on any important scale of dimensions, is in existence; no critical appreciation of his work as a whole, and as correlated with the circumstances and affected by the changes of his life, has, so far as I am aware, been attempted.
