Description

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of Britain's greatest poets, is the subject of this seminal biography. Richard Holmes's two-part examination of Coleridge forever transformed our view of the poet behind 'Kubla Khan'. Coleridge: Early Visions is the first part of Holmes's classic biography, which brings back to life Coleridge's poetry and encyclopaedic thought, his creative energy and physical presence. The book reveals a brilliant, animated and endlessly provoking figure who invades the imagination. Holmes draws the reader into the labyrinthine complications of Coleridge's personality and literary power, facing profound questions about creativity, friendship, and the shifting grounds of political and religious belief.
