In ''Lyrical Ballads and Other Poems of Coleridge & Wordsworth,'' readers are presented with a seminal collection that steered English literature into the passionate age of Romanticism. The ensemble, featured in first and second edition form, encapsulates the raw spirit of the era, embracing nature, emotion, and imagination as literary cornerstones. Wordsworth''s contributions reflect quintessential romantic elements with a focus on the beauty and moral epiphanies drawn from the mundane. On the other hand, Coleridge''s work, including his venerated ''The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,'' conveys darker, more complex Gothic hues within its innovative metrics and rhythm, adding substantial depth to the collaboration. The collection is further enhanced by critical essays and notes expounding on their novel poetic principles, thus making the text not only a creative triumph but also a theoretical treatise. William Wordsworth, a vanguard of the Romantic movement, alongside Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his equally esteemed counterpart, provides us with textual evidence of his intrinsic connection to the natural world, which heavily influenced his literary output. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, their combined effort emerged as a poignant encapsulation of the era''s sentiment, championing the individual''s emotional experience against societal modernization. Their backgrounds suffused with radical political thought, natural observation, and existential meditation coalesce into the verses presented, portraying a revolutionary departure from the didactic poetic norms of the 18th century. ''Lyrical Ballads and Other Poems of Coleridge & Wordsworth'' is an indispensable volume for enthusiasts and scholars of English Romanticism. The book offers a fascinating investigation into the early evolution of one of literature''s most influential movements. It behooves those seeking to comprehend the origins of modern poetic expression to delve into this pioneering work. Moreover, the addition of the authors'' own literary analysis provides readers with an invaluable glimpse into the minds behind the movement, thereby enriching the reading experience with historical and intellectual context. As an articulation of Romantic ideals and an exemplar of poetic innovation, this text remains a cornerstone for anyone interested in the enduring power of poetic thought.

Christabel is a long narrative poem in two parts. Coleridge planned three additional parts, but these were never completed. The story of Christabel concerns a central female character of the same name and her encounter with a stranger called Geraldine, who claims to have been abducted from her home by a band of rough men. Coleridge aimed to write Christabel using an accentual metrical system, based on the count of only accents: even though the number of syllables in each line can vary from four to twelve, the number of accents per line never deviates from four. Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. According to Coleridge''s Preface the poem was composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. Upon waking, he set about writing lines of poetry that came to him from the dream until he was interrupted by a person from Porlock. The poem could not be completed according to its original 200–300 line plan as the interruption caused him to forget the lines. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 – 1834) was an English poet, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.The literary Biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834). As is known, it is a kind of literary memories, in which criticism predominates, stylistic, metric reflections, the exposition of some Hartley ideas, the characteristics of imagination and fantasy and, above all, much around Wordsworth and his poetry, especially his Lyrical Ballads, where Coleridge''s presence is notable. It is not a unitary book (in any of the two senses, although its author belonged to this belief in the first part of his life), but a kind of digression that, without doubt, is centered on poetry. The work was dictated, at least in part, to John Morgan, in 1815, and published in 1817.

Reproduction of the original: Biographia Literaria by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Piccolomini By Samuel Taylor Coleridge PREFACE. The two dramas, -PICCOLOMINI, or the first part of WALLENSTEIN, and the DEATH OF WALLENSTEIN, are introduced in the original manuscript by a prelude in one act, entitled WALLENSTEIN''S CAMP. This is written in rhyme, and in nine-syllable verse, in the same lilting metre (if that expression may be permitted), with the second Eclogue of Spenser''s Shepherd''s Calendar. This prelude possesses a sort of broad humor, and is not deficient in character: but to have translated it into prose, or into any other metre than that of the original, would have given a false idea both of its style and purport; to have translated it into the same metre would have been incompatible with a faithful adherence to the sense of the German from the comparative poverty of our language in rhymes; and it would have been unadvisable, from the incongruity of those lax verses with the present taste of the English public. Schiller''s intention seems to have been merely to have prepared his reader for the tragedies by a lively picture of laxity of discipline and the mutinous dispositions of Wallenstein''s soldiery. It is not necessary as a preliminary explanation. For these reasons it has been thought expedient not to translate it. The admirers of Schiller, who have abstracted their idea of that author from the Robbers, and the Cabal and Love, plays in which the main interest is produced by the excitement of curiosity, and in which the curiosity is excited by terrible and extraordinary incident, will not have perused without some portion of disappointment the dramas, which it has been my employment to translate. They should, however, reflect that these are historical dramas taken from a popular German history; that we must, therefore, judge of them in some measure with the feelings of Germans; or, by analogy, with the interest excited in us by similar dramas in our own language. Few, I trust, would be rash or ignorant enough to compare Schiller with Shakspeare; yet, merely as illustration, I would say that we should proceed to the perusal of Wallenstein, not from Lear or Othello, but from Richard II., or the three parts of Henry VI. We scarcely expect rapidity in an historical drama; and many prolix speeches are pardoned from characters whose names and actions have formed the most amusing tales of our early life. On the other hand, there exist in these plays more individual beauties, more passages whose excellence will bear reflection than in the former productions of Schiller. The description of the Astrological Tower, and the reflections of the Young Lover, which follow it, form in the original a fine poem; and my translation must have been wretched indeed if it can have wholly overclouded the beauties of the scene in the first act of the first play between Questenberg, Max, and Octavio Piccolomini. If we except the scene of the setting sun in the Robbers, I know of no part in Schiller''s plays which equals the first scene of the fifth act of the concluding plays. [In this edition, scene iii., act v.] We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

In his clumsily entitled Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg, Wordsworth has these lines, after referring to Hogg and to Walter Scott: -"Nor has the rolling year twice measured,From sign to sign, its steadfast course,Since every mortal power of ColeridgeWas frozen at its marvellous source; ...The rapt One, of the god-like forehead,The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth."And in his poem, Resolution and Independence, though he does not name Coleridge, it is almost certain that he had him in mind when he wrote: -"My whole life I have lived in pleasant thought,As if life''s business were a summer mood;As if all needful things would come unsoughtTo genial faith, still rich in genial good;But how can he expect that others shouldBuild for him, sow for him, and at his callLove him, who for himself will take no heed at all?"When he read the news of Coleridge''s death, Wordsworth''s voice faltered and broke, as he said he was the most wonderful man that he had ever known.It is always worth while to know what one poet thinks of another, especially if the two have been contemporaries, friends, intimate companions.

Christabel is a long narrative poem in two parts. Coleridge planned three additional parts, but these were never completed.

Coleridge''s Aids to Reflection was written at a time when new movements in thought were starting to unsettle belief. It was read with admiration by early Victorians such as John Sterling, F. D. Maurice, and Thomas Arnold, contributing to the formation of the Broad Church Movement, and with respect by members of the High Church Movement, including John Henry Newman. Coleridge had intended simply to produce a selection from the writings of the seventeenth-century Archbishop Robert Leighton with comments of his own, but as he worked at the book he found the commentary expanding to take in the fruits of his religious thinking over the years, so that the second, and more important, part of the volume was totally dominated by his thought. In this, the first major edition of Aids to Reflection, the intricate story of Coleridge''s changing conception is unfolded by way of an introduction and detailed notes, the surviving materials for the volume being printed in appendixes. The introduction also traces the subsequent influence of the work in England and America; further appendixes include James Marsh''s influential preface to the first American edition, which is reproduced in full. Originally published in 1993.
