The Complete Poetical Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Vol 1 and 2

by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

This edition gathers the complete poems and verse dramas of Samuel Taylor Coleridge in two volumes, edited by his grandson Ernest Hartley Coleridge and published in 1912. The first volume contains the poems in chronological order, from schoolboy verses through the great years of 1797 and 1798, when he wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, Christabel, Frost at Midnight and This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison, and on through Dejection: An Ode and the sparse, haunted work of his later life. The second volume adds the dramas, including Remorse and his translation of Schiller's Wallenstein, epigrams, fragments and juvenilia, with the editor's notes recording variant readings. It remains the fullest record of a poet whose finished work is small. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first poems free.
