Select Who's Who These brief notes are intended to amplify references in the Chron ology, particularly to individuals not in the public domain. The well-known figures of Wordsworth, Lamb, Southey, Byron, De Quincey and Hazlitt are excluded, as are Mary Lamb and Dorothy Wordsworth, since information about them is readily available elsewhere.

The point was to free him of the routine material difficulties which were already closing in on him from all sides. Both those categories of poems are extremely innovative in all sorts of ways. A Cambridge Alumni Database. The poem employs the technique of his conversational poems; the sensitive rhythms and phrasing that he had learned to use in them are here masterfully deployed to represent his own depressed state of mind. Coleridge was born in Devon. A recent excavation revealed the coffins were not in the location most believed, the far corner of the crypt, but actually below a memorial slab in the nave inscribed with: "Beneath this stone lies the body of Samuel Taylor Coleridge". The problem with finishing things for Coleridge was typically that he saw two positions, or two totally different and contradictory truths. Email address. From his confinement in the garden, he celebrates the pleasures of the natural world as seen from within this harmonious community of like-minded individuals. And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony. Feelings of anomie, unworthiness, and incapacity persisted throughout a life of often compulsive dependency on others. Famous Poets. However, Eliot also criticises Coleridge for allowing his emotion to play a role in the metaphysical process, believing that critics should not have emotions that are not provoked by the work being studied.

Summary: The Poem “Kubla Khan,” one of the most famous and most analyzed English poems, is a fifty-four-line lyric in three verse paragraphs. In the opening paragraph, the title character decrees that a “stately pleasure-dome” be built in Xanadu. Although numerous commentators have striven to find sources for the place names used here by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, there is no critical consensus about the origins or meanings of these names. The real-life Kubla Khan, a thirteenth century Mongolian general and statesman who conquered and unified China, lived in an elaborate residence known as K’ai-p’ing, or Shang-tu, in southeastern Mongolia. Coleridge’s Kubla has his palace constructed where Alph, “the sacred river,” begins its journey to the sea. The construction of the palace on “twice five miles of fertile ground” is described. It is surrounded by walls and towers within which are ancient forests and ornate gardens “bright with sinuous rills.” Xanadu is described more romantically in the second stanza. It becomes “A savage place! as holy and enchanted/ As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted/ By woman wailing for her demon-lover!” It is inhabited not by Kubla’s family and followers, but by images from Coleridge’s imagination.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
/ I o?V SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A NARRATIVE OF THE EVENTS OF HIS LIFE BY JAMES DYKES CAMPBELL ILonDon MACMILLAN AND CO. AND NEW YORK 1894 bin ; C3:>' PREFACE This Memoir is mainly a reproduction of the bio- graphical sketch prefixed to the one-volume edition of Coleridge's Poetical Works^ published last spring. Such an Introduction generally and properly consists of a brief summary of some authoritative biography. As, however, no authoritative biography of Coleridge existed, I was obliged to construct a narrative for my own purpose. With this view, I carefully sifted all the old printed biographical materials, and as far as possible collated them with the original documents I searched all books of Memoirs, etc., likely to Coleridge contain incidental information regarding ; and, further, I was privileged by being permitted to make use of much important matter, either absolutely new, or previously unavailable. My aim had been, not to add to the ever- lengthening array of estimates of Coleridge as a poet and philosopher, but to provide something 1 The Poetical Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Edited, with a Bio- graphical Introduction, by James Dykes Campbell. London : Macmillan and Co. 1893. SAMUEL TA YLOR COLERIDGE which appeared to be wanting—a plain, and as far as possible, an accurate narrative of the events of his life ; something which might serve until the appearance of the full biography which is expected from the hands of the poet's grandson, Mr. Ernest Hartley Coleridge. In preparing the present reprint of the ' Bio- graphical Introduction ' I have spared no effort towards making it worthy of separate publication, and of its new title.

Wordsworth's Empiricist Poetic and Its Influence in the Twentieth Century
1 Wordsworth’s Empiricist Poetic and its Influence in the Twentieth Century Jeffrey Side SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS THE SCHOOL OF ENGLISH SEPTEMBER 2006 THE CANDIDATE CONFIRMS THAT THE WORK SUBMITTED IS HIS OWN AND THAT APPROPRIATE CREDIT HAS BEEN GIVEN WHERE REFERENCE HAS BEEN MADE TO THE WORK OF OTHERS. THIS COPY HAS BEEN SUPPLIED ON THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS COPYRIGHT MATERIAL AND THAT NO QUOTATION FROM THE THESIS MAY BE PUBLISHED WITHOUT PROPER ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 2 Abstract Wordsworth’s Empiricist Poetic and its Influence in the Twentieth Century This thesis has two connected aims. Firstly, it claims that it is meaningful to describe Wordsworth’s aesthetic, and his beliefs about the subject-object relationship, as substantially empiricist. However, it is not claimed that Wordsworth is consistently empiricist in the way that a philosopher might aspire to be: indeed, there is a place to be found within this argument for the recognition of his transcendentalism. While it is granted that the word “empiricist” is not always used in the most rigorous philosophical sense, the influence of philosophical empiricism on Wordsworth naturally figures in the argument. Secondly, the thesis demonstrates that the continued influence of Wordsworth in the twentieth century has to be understood primarily as the influence of his empiricist aesthetic. The thesis concludes by suggesting that there are wider possibilities for poetry than are encouraged by this aesthetic. The importance of undertaking this project does not lie only in objections to Wordsworth’s theory or practice, but arises also from a consideration of his continuing influence.

Structure and Style in the Greater Romantic Lyric M.H
Structure and Style in the Greater Romantic Lyric M.H. Abrams THERE is no accepted name for the kind of poem I want to talk about, even though it was a distinctive and widely practiced variety of the longer Romantic lyric and includes some of the greatest Romantic achievements in any form. Coleridge’s “The Eolian Harp,” “Frost at Midnight,” “Fears in Solitude,” and “Dejection: An Ode” exemplify the type, as does Wordsworth's “Tintern Abbey,” his “Ode: Intimations of Immortality,” and (with a change in initial reference from scene to painting) his “Elegiac Stanzas Suggested by a Picture of Peele Castle, in a Storm.” Shelley's “Stanzas Written in Dejection” follows the formula exactly, and his “Ode to the West Wind” is a variant on it. Of Keats's odes, that to a nightingale is the one which approximates the pattern most closely. Only Byron, among the major poets, did not write in this mode at all. These instances yield a paradigm for the type. Some of the poems are called odes, while the others approach the ode in having lyric magnitude and a serious subject, feelingfully meditated. They present a determinate speaker in a particularized, and usually a localized, outdoor setting, whom we overhear as he carries on, in a fluent vernacular which rises easily to a more formal speech, a sustained colloquy, sometimes with himself or with the outer scene, but more frequently with a silent human auditor, present or absent. The speaker begins with a description of the landscape; an aspect or change of aspect in the landscape evokes a varied but integral process of memory, thought, anticipation, and feeling which remains closely intervolved with the outer scene.

Shadowy Bodies and Other Minutiae: Coleridge's Originality
From The Coleridge Bulletin The Journal of the Friends of Coleridge New Series 33 (NS) Summer 2009 © 2009 Contributor all rights reserved http://www.friendsofcoleridge.com/Coleridge-Bulletin.htm Shadowy Nobodies and other Minutiae: Coleridge’s Originality R. A. Foakes ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ‘to find such shadowy nobodies, as cherub-winged DEATH, Trees of HOPE, bare-bosom’d AFFECTION, & simpering PEACE—makes one’s blood circulate like ipecacuanha. A young man by strong feelings is impelled to write on a particular subject . He has such a high idea of what Poetry ought to be, that he cannot conceive that such things as his natural emotions may be allowed to find a place in it.’ (CL I 333, July 1797, on Monody on the death of Chatterton) HIS ESSAY considers two questions: first, why did Coleridge write so T much indifferent or bad verse before 1798? And second, why did he make such a mess of the early series of lectures on Shakespeare? The answers sketched here to these questions point to a parallel between them. Most of us take it for granted that we live in fast times, a culture of speeding cars, instant gratifications, computers, BlackBerrys, cell-phones, air- travel, and so on. But in some ways things have slowed down—many students will be getting their qualifications in business studies, or as lawyer or doctor or teacher when well into their twenties or older. We live on average longer, and have a different concept of time from that common in 1772, when Coleridge
