Coleridge was a poet associated with English Romanticism, who the publisher calls 'an enormously erudite and tireless critic, lecturer, and polemicist who almost single-handedly created the intellectual climate in which the Romantic movement was received and understood. He was also, in poems such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan' the most uncanny, surreal, and startling of the great English poets.'
