Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was born in Ottery St Mary, Devon, the youngest son of a clergyman. He was educated at Christ's Hospital School, London, where he met Charles Lamb, and at Jesus College, Cambridge. He met Wordsworth in 1797, and in 1799 they published the Lyrical Ballads, one of the most revolutionary collections of poetry in the history of English literature. In his later years, Coleridge wrote primarily on philosophy, politics and literature. He is one of the seminal figures of his time, described by Wordsworth as 'the only wonderful man I ever knew.'
