Enriched Edition. Rime to LecturesBy Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Length173h 14m
About this audiobook
The Complete Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge gathers the astonishing range of a writer central to British Romanticism: visionary poems, dramatic experiments, philosophical and literary essays, lectures, autobiography, and correspondence. From the supernatural intensities of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" to the critical intelligence of Biographia Literaria, the volume reveals Coleridge's fusion of lyric music, metaphysical inquiry, and psychological subtlety within the revolutionary literary culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Coleridge was not merely a poet but a restless intellectual presence: critic, theologian, lecturer, translator, political thinker, and collaborator with William Wordsworth in the making of Lyrical Ballads. His struggles with illness, opium dependence, religious doubt, and philosophical ambition shaped a body of work preoccupied with imagination, conscience, nature, and the divided self. His letters and autobiographical writings illuminate the pressures behind his most enduring achievements. This illustrated edition is recommended for readers seeking both Coleridge's celebrated masterpieces and the broader architecture of his mind. Scholars, students, and devoted lovers of Romantic literature will find here an indispensable portrait of a writer whose fragments, arguments, and visions continue to define modern literary thought.
