Coleridge was an English poet, Romantic, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement. Preceding John Keats, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron.
He is probably best known for his poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as for his major prose work Biographia Literaria. His critical work, especially on Shakespeare, was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture. He coined many familiar words and phrases, including the celebrated suspension of disbelief. He was a major influence, via Emerson, on American transcendentalism.
This is a gorgeous set. Coleridge's works are exceptionally difficult to obtain in such nice leather bindings. The FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. This set displays beautifully.
