A collection of Coleridge's editorial contributions to the London Morning Post , beginning in 1798, and later to the evening Courier , ending in 1818. Many of the lively essays in this edition, including several ironic satirical pieces in verse and prose, did not appear in the original collection assembled by Sara Coleridge in 1850.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was, along with his friend William Wordsworth, one of the founders of the Romantic Movement in England and one of the Lake Poets. He is probably best known for his poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as his major prose work Biographia Literaria.
