Summary

The collaborative friendship of Coleridge with Wordsworth was comparable with that between Goethe and Schiller in its mutual inspiration. Its first product was Lyrical Ballads, with A Few Other Poems (first edition 1798), to which Coleridge contributed “The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere,” “The Nightingale” (below), and two others. Within a few years his poetic powers weakened and there were difficulties in the friendship; Coleridge soon turned mainly to philosophy, theology, and literary criticism, much of which was influential both in Britain and America.
