Summary "Coleridge" by S. L. Bensusan is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and thoughts of the renowned poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, exploring his struggles, friendships, and influences against the backdrop of his significant contributions to literature. The narrative presents Coleridge not only as a literary figure but as a complex individual marked by both brilliance and fragility. The opening of the biography provides a detailed introduction to Coleridge's formative years, highlighting his early life in Devonshire and his schooling experiences. It paints a picture of a precocious but unhappy child, prone to anxiety and self-doubt, who found solace in books but struggled with social interactions. Bensusan sets the stage for the exploration of Coleridge's later philosophical and poetic endeavors, hinting at the dichotomy between his remarkable talents and the personal challenges he faced throughout his life. This section establishes the groundwork for understanding how Coleridge's early experiences shaped his subsequently turbulent existence and prolific literary output.
