Samuel Taylor Coleridge

One of the great figures of the Romantic age, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) is known both for his poetry and prose, and for producing with William Wordsworth Lyrical Ballads, a work which revolutionized English poetry. Plagued by debts and laudanum addiction, he left many pieces unfinished, yet his extraordinary influence was felt in literary figures as diverse as Wordsworth, Mary Shelley and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
