Summary "English Men of Letters: Coleridge" by H. D. Traill is a biographical account written in the late 19th century that delves into the life and works of the renowned poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. As part of the larger "English Men of Letters" series, the book aims to provide insights into Coleridge's literary journey, covering his early years, influences, and the evolution of his philosophy and poetic vision. The text likely explores his relationships with contemporaries, including William Wordsworth, and contemplates his contributions to English literature, particularly during the Romantic period. The opening of the work introduces the complexities surrounding Coleridge’s life and the challenges faced by those attempting to capture his multifaceted essence. It touches upon his birth, upbringing, and early education, highlighting the impact of his father, the Rev. John Coleridge, and his unique disposition towards philosophy and poetry from a young age. The text sets the stage for an exploration of Coleridge's formative experiences, such as his schooling at Christ's Hospital and Jesus College, Cambridge, along with his precocious intellect and eventual foray into literary circles, including his friendships with literary figures like Wordsworth and Southey. As it unfolds, the biography promises to offer an intimate portrait of Coleridge’s character, achievements, and challenges, presenting a balanced view of the poet’s influence on literature alongside his personal struggles.
