HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'Instead of the cross, the
Albatross About my neck was hung' When an albatross leads a
stricken ship out of treacherous ice, a hapless mariner shoots the
bird, arousing the wrath of spirits who pursue the ship. Haunted by
Death, the crew begin to perish one by one, until only the cursed
mariner remains to confront his guilt. As penance for his actions
he is condemned to wander the earth, telling his tale to those he
meets as a warning. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is Samuel
Taylor Coleridge's longest major poem and marks the beginning of
the romantic movement in British literature. This edition also
includes many of Coleridge's other works, including Kubla Khan,
Christabel and a selection of the 'conversation' poems.
Great title poem plus "Kubla Khan," "Christabel," 20 other sonnets, lyrics, odes: "Sonnet: To a Friend who asked how I felt when the Nurse first presented my Infant to me," "Frost at Midnight," "The Nightingale," "The Pains of Sleep," "To William Wordsworth," "Youth and Age," many more. All are reprinted from an authoritative edition published by Oxford University Press. Alphabetical lists of titles and first lines.
When it was first published, Lyrical Ballads enraged the critics of
the day: Wordsworth and Coleridge had given poetry a voice, one
decidedly different to that which had been voiced before. This
acclaimed Routledge Classics edition offers the reader the
opportunity to study the poems in their original contexts as they
appeared to Coleridge's and Wordsworth's contemporaries, and
includes some of their most famous poems, including Coleridge's
Rime of the Ancyent Marinere.
One of the highly praised Lakeland poets, alongside his friend
William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a founder of the
Romantic movement in England. His work - still popular today -
includes such classics as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla
Khan as well as the beautiful early poem Frost at Midnight: 'Or if
the secret ministry of frost, Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.' Despite the great beauty of his
work, he suffered from bouts of depression and today it is
speculated he may well have had bipolar disorder. For both mental
and physical ailments he was treated with laudanum which led to a
lifelong addition to opium. Coleridge's influence was widespread -
he was a major influence on Ralph Waldo Emerson - indeed, he
invented the phrase suspension of disbelief. This collection is a
fascinating insight into his life, as well as his work.
Coleridge's flawed genius has fascinated people for almost 200
years. His greatest poems have a quality which sets them apart from
- and perhaps above - those of even his most admired Romantic
contemporaries. Yet they sit oddly, too, with the bulk of his own
work, seeming to spring, if not from a different sensibility, then
at least from a different state of mind. Here, Ted Hughes describes
the psychological ordeal which produced the supreme utterances of
'Kubla Khan', 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Christabel,
Part One', and his choice gives us those poems in the company of
others related to them. The result is a daring and radical attempt
to get to the heart of Coleridge's spiritual and poetic concerns.
This authoritative edition was originally published in the
acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of
Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of
Coleridge's poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by
important criticism, letters, and marginalia - to give the essence
of his work and thinking. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet, critic,
and radical thinker, exerted an enormous influence over
contemporaries as different as Wordsworth, Southey and Lamb. He was
also a dedicated reformer, and set out to use his reputation as a
public speaker and literary philosopher to change the course of
English thought. This collection represents the best of Coleridge's
poetry from every period of his life, particularly his prolific
early years, which produced The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,
Christabel, and Kubla Khan. The central section of the book is
devoted to his most significant critical work, Biographia
Literaria, and reproduces it in full. It provides a vital
background for both the poetry section which precedes it and for
the shorter prose works which follow. There is also a generous
sample of his letters, notebooks, and marginalia, some recently
discovered, which show a different, more spontaneous side to his
fascinating and complex personality. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including

Feelings come alive through the words of the Romantic poets.
Romanticism gained traction in the late 1700s as writers moved away
from the intellectualism of the Enlightenment and toward more
emotional and natural themes. The major works of the movement's six
most famous poets-William Wordsworth, George Gordon Byron, Percy
Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, and William
Blake-are represented in this handsome Word Cloud Classics volume,
The Romantic Poets. One of the largest and most influential
artistic movements in history, Romanticism valued intuition and
pastoralism, and its themes are well represented in the verse of
its stars.
Long central to the canon of British Romantic literature, Samuel
Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads is a
fascinating case study in the history of poetry, publishing, and
authorship. This Broadview edition is the first to reprint both the
1798 and the 1800 editions of Lyrical Ballads in their entirety. In
the appendices to this Broadview edition, reviews, correspondence,
and a selection of contemporary verse and prose situate the work
within the popular and experimental literature of its time, and
allow readers to trace the work's transformations in response to
the pressures of the literary marketplace.
'Listen, Stranger!' Wordsworth and Coleridge's joint collection of
poems has often been singled out as the founding text of English
Romanticism. Within this initially unassuming, anonymous volume
were many of the poems that came to define their age and which have
continued to delight readers ever since, including 'The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner', the 'Lucy' poems, 'Lines written a few miles
above Tintern Abbey', 'A Slumber did my Spirit seal' and many more.
Wordsworth's famous Preface is a manifesto not just for Romanticism
but for poetry in general. This is the only edition to print both
the original 1798 collection and the expanded 1802 edition, with
the fullest version of the Preface and Wordsworth's important
Appendix on Poetic Diction. It offers modern readers a sense of
what it was like to encounter Lyrical Ballads for the first time,
and to see how it developed. Important letters are included, as
well as a wide-ranging introduction and generous notes. ABOUT THE

In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, one of the best-known and
best-loved poems in the English language, a grizzled old sailor
stops a man on his way to a wedding and tells a terrifying story.
He speaks of how he doomed the crew of his ship by shooting dead an
albatross, awakened the wrath of ocean spirits, met Death himself,
and must now walk the earth for ever and share his tragic tale of
sin, guilt and - ultimately - redemption. This Macmillan
Collector's Library edition of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's longest
major poem features illustrations by Gustave Dore, the most
remarkable wood engraver of the nineteenth century, and an
introduction by writer and journalist Ned Halley. Designed to
appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a
series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the great narrative poem by Samuel
Taylor Coleridge rendered into comic strip form by Hunt Emerson.
The book includes the complete original poem with Coleridge's,
notes and humor added by Hunt Emerson, and an introduction by
Gilbert Shelton.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was the master impresario of English Romanticism -- an enormously erudite and tireless critic, lecturer, and polemicist who almost single-handedly created the intellectual climate in which the Romantic movement was received and understood. He was also, in poems such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan.' the most uncanny, surreal, and startling of the great English poets.
Doré's dramatic engravings for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner are considered by many to be his greatest work. The terrifying space of the open sea, the storms and whirlpools of an unknown ocean, the hot equatorial seas swarming with monsters, the ice of Antarctica, more-are all rendered in a powerful chilling manner. Full text. 38 plates.
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. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The

A newly edited readers' edition of Coleridge's foundational
lectures on Shakespeare This volume comprises a freshly composed
edition of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1811-12 Lectures on
Shakespeare and Milton and 1818-19 Lectures on Shakespeare.
Coleridge is a foundational figure in Shakespeare criticism, and
remains to this day one of the most incisive and best. Nobody
interested in Coleridge, Shakespeare or Literary Criticism more
broadly can afford to be ignorant of Coleridge's famous lectures.
Key Features A new edition of one of Romanticism's (and English
Literature's) most influential critics lectures on Shakespeare
Newly edited to take advantage of modern scholarship and new
electronic research resources; an edition in which all hitherto
untraced allusions and quotations have been identified Unlike other
editions, this presents the lectures as works of fluent and
readable prose, rather than notes or shorthand jotting The volume
follows the same format, and embodies many of the specific
features, as the editor's new edition of Coleridge's Biographia
Literaria (2014)
The Opus Maximum gathers the last major body of unpublished prose
writings by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Consisting primarily of
fragments dictated to Joseph Henry Green, probably between 1819 and
1823, these writings represent all that exists of what Coleridge
considered to be "the principal Labour" and "the great Object" of
his life, which he called variously the Logosophia and Magnum Opus.
Dedicated to "the reconcilement of the moral faith with the
Reason," Coleridge's envisioned Magnum Opus was supposed to "reduce
all knowledges into harmony." While such a synthesis finally eluded
him, and the Magnum Opus remained unfinished, the surviving
fragments nonetheless bear powerful witness to Coleridge's
engagement with theology, moral philosophy, natural philosophy, and
logic, among other disciplines. Among the subjects that will
particularly interest readers are Coleridge's criticisms of
Epicureanism, pantheism, and German Naturphilosophie; his attempt
to ground reason in faith; and his reflections on personhood
(especially in the relationship between mother and child), on will,
on language, and on the Logos. Previously unknown to all but a
handful of scholars, the manuscripts presented here provide
valuable insight into a crucial period of Coleridge's intellectual
development, as he became increasingly dissatisfied with
Naturphilosophie and struggled to affirm Trinitarian Christianity
on a rational basis. With this volume, The Collected Works of
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, begun forty years ago under the
sponsorship of the Bollingen Foundation and the editorship of the
late Kathleen Coburn, is now complete.
theological, philosophical, scientific, social, and psychological
matters, plans for and fragments of works, and many other items of
great interest. This fourth double volume of the Notebooks covers
the years 1819 through 1826. The range of Coleridge's reading, his
endless questioning, and his recondite sources continue to
fascinate the readers. Included here are drafts and full versions
of the later poems. Many passages reflect the technological
interests that led to Coleridge's writing of Aids of Reflection,
later to become an important source for the Transcendentalists.
Another development in this volume is the startling expansion of
Coleridge's interest in "the theory of life" and in chemistry--the
laboratory chemistry of the Royal Institution fo Great Britain and
the theoretical chemistry of German transcendentalists such as
Okea, Steffens, and Oersted. Also contained in this volume is an
important section on the meaning of marriage. Kathleen Coburn is

Volume 1 of 2. Coleridge's Shorter Works and Fragments brings
together a number of substantial essays that were not long enough
to require volumes to themselves, among them his "Theory of Life,"
"Essays on the Principles of Genial Criticism," "Treatise on
Method," "Confessions of an Inquiring Spirit," "On the Passions,"
and "On the Prometheus of Aeschylus." To these are added more than
four hundred other pieces, some of them fragementary, many of them
previously unpublished, ranging in date from school essays of the
early 1790s to a discussion of the bullion controversy in 1834. As
might be expected, the subject matter includes literature and
language, theology, philosophy, politics, and science, but in many
less predictable topics (such as child labor laws, marriage,
suicide, church history, the abolition of slavery, the state of the
colonies) also appear. By gathering this material and presenting it
in chronological order, Shorter Works and Fragments reveals the
development and major characteristics of Coleridge's seemingly
inexhaustible variety. H.J. Jackson and J.R. de J. Jackson,
Professors of English at the University of Toronto, are the editors
of Coleridge's Marginalia and Logic, respectively, in the Collected
Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Bollingen Series LXXV Originally

Volume 1 of 2. Coleridge's nephew, son-in-law, and first editor,
Henry Nelson Coleridge, began at the end of 1822 a record of
Coleridge's remarks as a way of preparing an anthology of the
interests and thought of the great poet and critic. His
manuscripts, gathered to form the major text of his new edition,
include passages on relatives, friends, and various censorable
topics omitted from the Table Talk of 1835 and unpublished until
now. These two volumes also contain talk recorded by other
listeners from 1798 until Coleridge's death in 1834. Some of these
records have not been previously published; some are published from
manuscripts that differ from versions previously known. Also
included are previously unpublished remarks by Wordsworth. Along
with a bibliography of earlier editions of Table Talk and other
useful appendixes, Carl Woodring's edition reprints the second
edition (1836), which differs from the manuscripts more extensively
than the edition of 1835. THis is the first fully annotated edition
of a work that long remained more popular in the United Kingdom
than any of the works in prose published by Coleridge himself. The
two volumes make a convenient encyclopedia of his ideas and
interests. Carl Woodring is George Edward Woodberry Professor of

Lyrical Ballads (1798) is a landmark collection of poems that marks
the beginning of the English Romantic Movement in literature.
Co-written by friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, the collection broke away from traditional poetic form.
Of the twenty-three poems, Wordsworth penned works such as 'Lines
written a few miles above Tintern Abbey' and 'The Idiot Boy' that
use colloquial speech and take the everyday as their theme. The
collection also includes Coleridge's greatest poem 'The Rime of the
Ancyent Marinere', a supernatural tale of a sailor's voyage.
Coleridge began in 1795 a series of public lectures. This volume
includes all the printed and manuscript versions of the Bristol
lectures in chronological sequence. Among the contents are
"Lectures on Revealed Religion, Its Corruption, and Its Political
Views" and "Lecture on the Slave-Trade." Originally published in
1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
