edit Early Life and Education
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born on October 21 in the rural town of Ottery St Mary Devonshire . He was the youngest of ten children, and his father, the Reverend John Coleridge, was a well respected vicar . Coleridge suffered from constant ridicule by his older brother Frank, partially due to jealousy, as Samuel was often praised and favoured by his parents. To escape this abuse, he frequently sought refuge at a local library, which led him to discover his passion for poetry. He later wrote in his Biographia Literaria At six years old I remember to have read Belisarius Robinson Crusoe , and Philip Quarll - and then I found the Arabian Nights' Entertainments - one tale of which (the tale of a man who was compelled to seek for a pure virgin) made so deep an impression on me (I had read it in the evening while my mother was mending stockings) that I was haunted by spectres whenever I was in the dark - and I distinctly remember the anxious and fearful eagerness with which I used to watch the window in which the books lay - and whenever the sun lay upon them, I would seize it, carry it by the wall, and bask, and read.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the youngest son of the vicar of Ottery St Mary, Devon, was born in 1772. He was educated at Christ's Hospital and Jesus College, Cambridge with the intention of becoming a Church minister. At university Coleridge became interested in politics and was a strong supporter of the French Revolution.
In 1794 Coleridge met Robert Southey and the two men became close friends. They developed radical political and religious views and began making plans to emigrate to Pennsylvania where they intended to set up a commune based on communistic values. Coleridge and Southey eventually abandoned this plan and instead stayed in England where they concentrated on communicating their radical i deas. This included the play they wrote together, The Fall of Robespierre
In 1795 Coleridge and Robert Southey married two sisters, Sarah and Edith Flicker. Samuel and Sarah Coleridge moved to Bristol where he lectured at

From LoveToKnow 1911
SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1772-1834), English poet and philosopher, was born on the 21st of October 1772, at his father's vicarage of Ottery St Mary's, Devonshire . His father, the Rev. John Coleridge (1719-1781), was a man of some mark . He was known for his great scholarship, simplicity of character, and affectionate interest in the pupils of the grammar school, of which he was appointed master a few months before becoming vicar of the parish (1760), reigning in both capacities till his death. He had married twice. The poet was the youngest child of his second wife, Anne Bowdon (d. 1809), a woman of great good sense, and anxiously ambitious for the success of her sons. On the death of his father, a presentation to Christ's Hospital was procured for Coleridge by the judge , Sir Francis Buller, an old pupil of his father's. He had already begun to give evidence of a powerful imagination, and he has described in a letter to his valued friend, Tom Poole , the pernicious effect which the admiration of an uncle and his circle of friends had upon him at this period. For eight years he continued at Christ's Hospital . Of these school-days Charles Lamb has given delightful glimpses in the Essays of Elia.

SLAUGHTER: Letters four do form his name
And who sent you?
BOTH: The same! The same!
SLAUGHTER: He came by stealth, and unlocked my den
And I have drunk the blood since then
Of thrice three hundred thousand men
FAMINE: I stood in a swampy field of battle
With bones and skulls I made a rattle
To frighten the wolf and carrion crow
And the homeless dog but they would not go.
So off I flew: for how could I bear To see them gorge their dainty fare? Fire, Famine and Slaughter What the Gothic horrors were doing to the popular press of Britain in the late Eighteenth Century, Romanticism was doing to the hallowed halls of poetry. It was a movement that is not in any way unfamiliar to those in the latter stages of the Twentieth Century, rising on a sudden distrust of rationality and science, an embrace of experience over knowledge, wonder over facts, a return to the natural world and the supernatural in preference to man's constricted realm. Charles Lamb, William Blake, Lord Byron, John Keats, Sir Walter Scott and poor old Percy Shelley can be counted in the number of Romanticists, and the movement was in some ways an expansion into popularity of the so-called 'graveyard poets' earlier in the century

Read Coleridge's comments on the sonnet in the introductory essay to Sheet of Sonnets
Work without Hope
All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair
The bees are stirringbirds are on the wing
And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!
And I the while, the sole unbusy thing,
Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Yet, well I ken the banks where amaranths blow,
Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow.
Bloom, O ye amaranths! bloom for whom ye may,
For me ye bloom not! Glide, rich streams, away!
With lips unbrightened, wreathless brow, I stroll:
And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul?
Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And hope without an object cannot live.
On a Discovery Made Too Late
Thou bleedest, my poor Heart! and thy distress
Reasoning I ponder with a scornful smile
And probe thy sore wound sternly, though the while
Swoln be mine eye and dim with heaviness.
Why didst thou listen to Hope's whisper bland?

was born in Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, as the youngest son of the vicar of Ottery St Mary. He was the youngest of ten children, adored by his parents. His father, the Reverend John Coleridge, was already fifty-three years old. Ann Bowdon, the daughter of a farmer, his second wife, was forty-five at that time. Later Coleridge described his childhood as full fantasy: "At six years old I remember to have read Belisarius Robinson Crusoe , and Philip Quarll - and then I found the Arabian Nights' entertainments - one tale of which (the tale of a man who was compelled to seek for a pure virgin) made so deep an impression on me (I had read it in the evening while my mother was mending stockings) that I was haunted by spectres whenever I was in the dark - and I distinctly remember the anxious and fearful eagerness with which I used to watch the window in which the books lay - and whenever the sun lay upon them, I would seize it, carry it by the wall, and bask, and read."

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced: Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail: And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, 1772 - 1834
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a British Romantic poet and philosopher who had incalculable impact in shaping American Transcendentalism . His major influence on the New England Transcendentalists was through his philosophical prose works rather than his poetry. Works such as The Friend (1812) were important for the Transcendentalists as they presented German philosophy, especially the philosophy of Friedrich Schelling , in elegant and inspirational English. In Biographia Literaria (1817), he made a vital contribution to Transcendental poetic theory in his discussion of the Imagination. More important than these works for the Transcendentalists was Aids to Reflection (1825), which appeared in New England in 1829, edited and provided with a rousing introduction by James Marsh . This book, which almost single-handedly initiated the Transcendentalist movement, refuted the sensationalist school of John Locke, fused the material and the spiritual, and advanced the crucial distinction between the Reason and the Understanding. William Ellery Channing claimed that he owed more to Coleridge than to other philosophers.

Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
21 October 1772 - 25 July 1834
Poet, critic, lecturer, Unitarian minister, moralizer, world-class talker, friend of William Wordsworth , and one of the most canonical (for what that's worth) figures of the British Romantic period, Coleridge (or STC, as he often referred to himself) is the "major" Romantic figure most associated with the Gothic, both now and in his lifetime. This is due largely to the popularity of his so-called "mystery poems": "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Kubla Khan," and "Christabel," poems which were responsible for much of STC's popular fame in his time and which remain wonderful "Gothic" poems today. STC also wrote some important critical discussions of supernaturalism and the sublime which have some relevance to the tradition. But if these poems (at least the first of which still occassionally attracts the attention of heavy-metal bands) are all you know of STC, you don't really know STC; his place in literary history has as much to do with his formative influence on William Wordsworth , his literary criticism, his philosophical essays, and his world-class talk as it does with his mystery poems.

POETRY ROMANTIC
When I think of Coleridge, I think of those momentary sparks of intuition I have experienced, when my brain seemed to grasp a clear and divine truth. It’s like seeing something from the corner of my eye; when I turn to look more closely - it's gone! If others do not share this impression, that is all right, because subjectivity was a major tenet of the Romantic Movement, of which Coleridge was a founding member.
The Romantic Movement was, in part, a rejection of the cold logic that came from the Age of Reason. Romantics such as Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey emphasized emotion over reason, feelings over intellect. It was a return to spiritual, ephemeral realms of the imagination, often involving legends and heroes from ancient times. While their writing seems quite structured by today’s standards, they were actually breaking away from the strict rules of verse prescribed by earlier poets.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It was at this time that Coleridge became the friend of William Wordsworth, perhaps the most significant friendship in the history of English poetry. Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy moved to Alfoxden, near Nether Stowey, and, in 1797, the two poets agreed to combine forces in a volume of poems to be called Lyrical Ballads , which was published by Joseph Cottle in September 1798. Coleridge's principal contribution was 'The Ancient Mariner', one of the two poems on which his reputation now mainly rests. The other, 'Kubla Khan', was also written in 1797, but remained unpublished for eighteen years. Lyrical Ballads was not a success at the time it appeared, but its long-term influence on English poetry was incalculable. In 1798, Coleridge received the offer of an annuity from Josiah and Thomas Wedgwood, on condition that he devote himself entirely to philosophy and poetry, an offer that he eventually accepted. The Wedgwoods' munificence enabled him to fulfil a plan that he had already formed of studying the new idealist philosophy in Germany. He started for Hamburg in September 1798, in the company of the Wordsworths, where they visited the poet Klopstock. Coleridge settled with a protestant pastor at Ratzeburg and set about learning German. In January 1799, he moved to Gottingen, where he attended lectures and made the acquaintance of Immanuel Kant. In May 1799, he went on a walking tour through the Hartz Mountains and wrote the poem 'Lines on ascending the Brocken'. In June he returned to England and was back in Nether Stowey in August 1799.

The headmaster, Bowyer (as he was called, though his name was Boyer), was a severe disciplinarian, but respected by his pupils. Middleton, afterwards known as a Greek scholar, and bishop of Calcutta, reported Coleridge to Bowyer as a boy who read Virgil for amusement, and from that time Bowyer began to notice him and encouraged his reading. Some compositions in English poetry, written at sixteen, and not without a touch of genius, give evidence of the influence which Bowles, whose poems were then in vogue, had over his mind at this time. Before he left school his constitutional delicacy of frame, increased by swimming the New River in his clothes, began to give him serious discomfort.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772-July 25, 1834) was a poet, philosopher, and romantic visionary, an inescapable presence in early 19th-century England. John Stuart Mill coupled him with Jeremy Bentham (another man often claimed as a Unitarian) as 'the two great seminal minds of England of their age'. Samuel was the youngest of 13 children of an Anglican clergyman in Ottery St Mary, a Devonshire village. His father died when he was just short of nine years old and he was placed in Christ's Hospital, a London residential school for orphans. He read voraciously, and while still at school received a flogging for declaring himself a disciple of Voltaire. This was, however, only one of the multitudinous ideas tumbling through his mind. When he went to Cambridge University in 1791 he still intended to fulfil the family's expectation that he would enter the Anglican ministry. Cambridge at that time was in ferment, arising from the wave of idealism generated in the early days of the French Revolution. Coleridge threw himself enthusiastically into this radical upsurge, which was as impatient with the status quo in religion as it was in politics. A leading figure in this radicalism was William Frend, a Fellow of Coleridge's own college, who had come out openly as a Unitarian as well as opposing the war against republican France. When Frend was tried before the university Senate, Coleridge led a group of undergraduates who protested noisily during the trial. After Frend was banished from the university, Coleridge remained in touch with him. Frend's influence combined with his own independent thinking in moving him towards Unitarianism.
