The period of his creative friendship with William Wordsworth inspired some of Coleridge’s best-known poems, from the nightmarish vision of the \"Rime of the Ancient Mariner\" and the opium-inspired \"Kubla Khan\" to the sombre passion of \"Dejection: An Ode\" and the medieval ballad \"Christabel.\" His meditative ‘conversation’ poems, such as \"Frost at Midnight\" and \"This Lime-Tree Bower Mr Prison,\" reflect on remembrance and solitude, while late works, such as \"Youth and Age\" and \"Constancy to an Ideal Object,\" are haunting meditations on mortality and lost love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume contains the final texts of all the poems published during Coleridge’s lifetime and a substantial selection from those still in manuscript at his death, arranged in chronological order of composition to show his development as a poet. Also included are an introduction, table of dates, further reading, extensive notes, and indexes of titles and first lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
