Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet, theologian, literary critic, philosopher, and co-founder of the English Romantic Movement. He was also a member of the famous Lake Poets, together with William Wordsworth and Robert Southey. Coleridge had a significant influence on the the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson and American Transcendentalism in general, and also played an important role in bringing German idealist philosophy to the English-speaking world. One of Coleridge's most famous works, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” was written in 1798 and represents his longest major poetic work. It is generally considered to be a turning point signalling a shift towards modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature. This wonderful poem is a classic of English literature and is not to be missed by lovers of Romantic poetry. Contents include: “Samuel Taylor Coleridge, by Mary E. Litchfield”, “The Ancient Mariner , by Edward Everett Hale”, “Argument of the Ancient Mariner, by Mary E. Litchfield”, “Part the First”, “Part the Second”, “Part the Third”, “Part the Fourth”, “Part the Fifth.”, etc. Ragged Hand is proud to be republishing this seminal poem now in a brand new edition complete with introductory excerpts by Mary E. Litchfield & Edward Everett Hale.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

A Romantic View of Poetry was first published in 1944. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Poetry is of the very essence of living. In this belief Joseph Warren Beach discusses the ways in which poet and reader create and live "a being more intense" and thereby fulfill the function of poetry. "Wherever there is life," says Beach, "there poetry is present potentially and in its rudiments . . . and poetry, as I conceive it, is the sovereign means we have of realizing the satisfaction which we take in living." Against the background of the Romantic School, he develops a pattern for the understanding of poetry that applies to all schools and to all readers. Poetry of realization and release cannot be circumscribed. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley stand here as examples of the poetic artist. And every person who responds to the work of the poet shares with him the imaginative stimulus of poetic creation. A Romantic View of Poetry consists of a series of lectures delivered by Mr. Beach at the Johns Hopkins University in 1941 on the Percy Turnball Memorial Foundation.
