Description
Richard Holmes's biography of Coleridge transforms our view of the poet forever. This second volume covers the last 30 years of Coleridge's career, from 1804 to 1834, and reveals a brilliant, animated, and endlessly provoking poet struggling with domestic and professional turmoil.
Coleridge's life was marked by turmoil: his marriage broke up, his opium addiction increased, he quarrelled with Wordsworth, and his own son became an alcoholic. Yet, after a desperate time of transition, Coleridge re-emerged on the literary scene as a new kind of philosophical and meditative author.
This book is the second volume of Holmes's classic biographies of one of the greatest Romantic poets. It offers a fresh perspective on Coleridge's life and work, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in literature and biography.
