Timely reissue of the second volume of Holmes's classic biographies
of one of the greatest Romantic poets. Richard Holmes's biography
of Coleridge transforms our view of the poet of 'Kubla Khan'
forever. Holmes's Coleridge leaps out of these pages as the
brilliant, animated and endlessly provoking poet of genius that he
was. This second volume covers the last 30 years of Coleridge's
career (1804-1834) during which he travelled restlessly through the
Mediterranean, returned to his old haunts in the Lake District and
the West Country, and finally settled in Highgate. It was a period
of domestic and professional turmoil. His marriage broke up, his
opium addiction increased, he quarrelled with Wordsworth, his own
son Hartley Coleridge (a gifted poet himself) became an alcoholic.
And after a desperate time of transition, Coleridge re-emerged on
the literary scene as a new kind of philosophical and meditative
author.
