Coleridge

coleridge, winner of the 1989 Whitbread Book of the Year, is a vivid and unforgettable portrait that illuminates the true genius of the author of "Kubla Khan" and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Holmes draws readers into the labyrinthine complications of Coleridge's life and work: his peotry and encyclopedic thought, his creative energy, and his fantastic mixture of stormy ebullience and anxious self-doubt.
