Coleridge (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic, and philosopher, born in 1772. He is best known for his contributions to the Romantic movement and his influential works, including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan." Coleridge explored themes of nature, imagination, and the supernatural, often blending reality with dreamlike elements. He also collaborated with William Wordsworth, helping to shape modern poetry. Beyond poetry, Coleridge's insights into literary criticism and philosophy have left a lasting impact on literature and thought. He passed away in 1834, but his legacy continues to inspire readers and writers today.
