Summary
Summary
This wide-ranging collection gathers together the major poems of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his children Hartley, Derwent, and Sara, his nephew Henry Nelson, his grandchildren Christabel Rose and Ernest Hartley, and his great-great-niece Mary—in all, 201 poems (plus one by the family friend Wordsworth). Alongside famous classics such as The Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and Christabel, the collection reflects recent trends in Coleridge studies and includes dozens of fascinating pieces never previously recorded. Marie Blackmore’s readings highlight the sheer musicality notable in many of these poems.
