The publication in 1798 of Lyrical Ballads, written by William
Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), is considered
to be the starting point of the Romantic movement. Published in the
first series of English Men of Letters in 1884, this biography by
H. D. Traill (1842-1900), who also wrote on Sterne for the series,
sets Coleridge's work within the context of his troubled childhood,
his travels, and the depression and financial crises that plagued
his life. The first writer to attempt a detailed account of
Coleridge's life and work - which ranged from poetry, journalism
and literary criticism to history, philosophy and theology - Traill
admits to some difficulty in tracing source material, particularly
as Coleridge's theological and philosophical writings were largely
incomplete, and remained unpublished at his death. Nonetheless he
reveals something of both the writer and also the man famously
described by Lamb as 'an Archangel a little damaged'.
