Between the years of 1797-1798 Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote what are considered his most important poetic works. Among them are the famous "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", "Kubla Khan", and "Christabel". Also during this period he wrote his much-heralded 'conversation poems' of which includes "This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison", "Frost at Midnight", and "The Nightingale". These great poems can all be found in this volume along with many others. Forty-one poems in all written between 1794 and 1833 make up this representative selection of Coleridge's best poetic works.
Though left uncompleted, “Kubla Khan” is one of the most famous examples of Romantic era poetry. In it, Samuel Coleridge provides a stunning and detailed example of the power of the poet’s imagination through his whimsical description of Xanadu, the capital city of Kublai Khan’s empire. Samuel Coleridge penned “Kubla Khan” after waking up from an opium-induced dream in which he experienced and imagined the realities of the great Mongol ruler’s capital city. Coleridge began writing what he remembered of his dream immediately upon waking from it, and intended to write two to three hundred lines. However, Coleridge was interrupted soon after and, his memory of the dream dimming, was ultimately unable to complete the poem.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was educated at Christ's Hospital, London and Jesus College, Cambridge. Close collaboration with Wordsworth resulted in joint production of the volume Lyrical Ballads in 1798, which contained Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', signposting the Romantic movement. After wintering in Germany in 1797-8 he settled in the Lake District, where he wrote the 'Letter' that turned into 'Dejection: An Ode' (1802). In later years Coleridge turned increasingly to prose, covering philosophical, political, religious and critical subjects, although new poems continued to appear in most years until his death.
The great poets are now accessible in beautifully produced, in low-priced volumes.Each collection provides a wonderful overview of the poet's major works. Great gifts
