This is a few magical poems by Coleridge that remain among the most celebrated works in the language: Kubla Khan, Christabel and - above all - The Ancient Mariner. All are included in this volume, together with many other superb but lesser-known poems and a selected prose extracts from the Biographia Literia and the Notebooks which show that Coleridge was not only a major poet but also a great critic and prose writer.
