About this audiobook
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet and influential figure in the Romantic Movement of the nineteenth century. Born into a large family, Coleridge was the youngest of his father’s 14 children. He attended Jesus College, University of Cambridge with aspirations of becoming a clergyman. Yet, his goals changed when he encountered radical thinkers with different religious views. He befriended several writers and began a new career, publishing a collection called Poems on Various Subjects. Over the years, Coleridge would work as a critic, public speaker, translator and secretary all before his death in 1834.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The music dominated rather than reinforced the poem. Over the top.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I can't believe I wasted my money on this. one of Burtons greatest, spoiled by an execrable soundtrack. what were you thinking?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5an ambitious interpretation, with unexpected music to set a ruminative tone.
