Über dieses E-Book
Biographia Literaria by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one of the world's most significant treatises on the nature of poetry and the poet. Coleridge gave the Romantic movement its philosophy in his greatest prose work, The Biographia Literaria. This book, which is a combination of autobiography, literary criticism and philosophy, contains some basic ideas on the superiority of the imagination to mere logic.
Autoren-Profil
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was a towering figure of the Romantic era, whose life and works continue to captivate modern readers. Born in Ottery St Mary, England, Coleridge was a prodigious talent from a young age, displaying an early affinity for poetry and philosophy. His collaboration with William Wordsworth on "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798 marked a revolutionary moment in English literature, heralding the Romantic movement with its emphasis on emotion, nature, and the sublime.Coleridge's personal life was as tumultuous as his literary career. He struggled with opium addiction, which he initially took for medical reasons, and this dependency profoundly influenced his work and relationships. His marriage to Sarah Fricker was fraught with difficulties, and his unrequited love for Sara Hutchinson added layers of complexity to his emotional world.A visionary thinker, Coleridge delved into German philosophy, bringing ideas from Kant and Schelling to an English audience. His lectures on Shakespeare and Milton were groundbreaking, offering deep insights that shaped literary criticism. Despite his struggles, Coleridge's intellectual curiosity and innovative spirit left an indelible mark on contemporaries like Wordsworth and later writers such as Emerson and Poe.Controversially, Coleridge's political views evolved from radicalism to conservatism, reflecting the turbulent times of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. His profound explorations of imagination, creativity, and the human psyche continue to resonate, making him a figure of enduring fascination and relevance.
