| Summary |
"The Life of Samuel Taylor Coleridge" by James Gillman is a biographical account written in the early 19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the life and character of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a prominent poet and philosopher, delving into his upbringing, struggles, and the experiences that shaped his intellectual and artistic journey. At the start of the memoir, the author reflects on Coleridge's early life, beginning with his birth in Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire, and sketching a portrait of his parents, particularly his father, who was a well-respected vicar and schoolmaster. The narrative weaves through Coleridge's childhood anecdotes, his sensitive disposition, and the impact of his father's death on his life. As Gillman recounts Coleridge's educational experiences, including his struggles at Christ's Hospital and his emerging passion for literature, he establishes a foundation for understanding the poet's complex character and the challenges he faced, setting the stage for the exploration of his later accomplishments and philosophical inclinations.
