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.
