With his friend William Wordsworth he founded the Romantic movementtheirs was one of the most productive and creative partnerships in the history of English literature; together with Robert Southey, they became known as the Lake Poets. Daniel Hahn traces the history of Coleridge s life, his intense friendship with William and Mary Wordsworth, his travels through Europe, failed marriage, and crippling addiction to opium. He reveals the inspiration for Coleridge s greatest works, and proffers insightful extracts from the poet s compositions. The result is a succinct and rounded portrayal of this great writer.
