Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet who lived from 1772 to 1834. He founded a movement in literature called the Romantic movement. He was contemporary with Robert Southey and William Wordsworth, which whom he wrote Lyrical Ballads in 1798.
Some of his most famous poems are The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Christabel and Kubla Khan. He also wrote some critical works and was a keen philosopher. He was very fond of giving talks and lectures but never really lived to produce the works that some literary experts think he had the potential to do.
His private life was tragic; his life started well, with a childhood at Ottery St Mary in Devon followed by a university education at Cambridge. However, whilst there, he got into debt and was forced to enlist in the Dragoons. He married Sarah Fricker in 1795, who was only 16 at the time, but they separated shortly afterwards and never had a proper marriage. Coleridge suffered from rheumatism, and suffered much pain. He became addicted to opium and from 1816 until his death in 1834, he needed full time medical care.
