Between the years of 1797-1798 Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote what are considered his most important poetic works. Among them are the famous "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", "Kubla Khan", and "Christabel". Also during this period he wrote his much-heralded 'conversation poems' of which includes "This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison", "Frost at Midnight", and "The Nightingale". These great poems can all be found in this volume along with many others. Forty-one poems in all written between 1794 and 1833 make up this representative selection of Coleridge's best poetic works.
