British Romantic Verse, Supernatural Sea Ballads, Dream Visions, and Metaphysical Nature MeditationsBy Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Length26h 29m
About this audiobook
The Complete Poetry gathers Samuel Taylor Coleridge's major poems and shorter lyrics in a volume that reveals the extraordinary range of his imagination. From the supernatural narrative of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and the visionary fragment "Kubla Khan" to the psychological Gothicism of "Christabel" and the meditative "conversation poems," Coleridge moves between ballad simplicity, philosophical reflection, musical experimentation, and dreamlike symbolism. The Classic Illustrated Edition further situates these works within an accessible visual presentation, inviting readers to consider how image, atmosphere, and verbal rhythm collaborate in Romantic poetry. Together, the poems illuminate a crucial transition from eighteenth-century poetic decorum toward the inwardness, spontaneity, and imaginative freedom associated with English Romanticism. Coleridge (1772–1834) was a poet, critic, philosopher, and theologian whose intellectual breadth profoundly shaped his writing. His friendship and collaboration with William Wordsworth produced Lyrical Ballads (1798), a landmark in Romantic literary history, while his wide reading in German philosophy, theology, folklore, and psychology enriched his poetic conception of imagination. His struggles with illness, opium dependence, political disappointment, and spiritual uncertainty also lend many poems their distinctive tension between visionary aspiration and fractured consciousness. This volume is recommended to readers seeking both the canonical achievements and the varied textures of Coleridge's poetic career. It serves newcomers as an inviting introduction and experienced students as a compact field for studying Romantic form, symbolism, and theories of imagination. Its combination of literary significance and illustrated accessibility makes it especially valuable for readers interested in poetry's power to transform dream, memory, and mystery into enduring art.
