Excerpt from The Poetical Works of the Reverend Dr. Edward Young, Vol. 1 of 4: Containing His Complaint, or Night-Thoughts, on Life, Death, and Immortality Soon after this he wrote the poem entitled, The Force of Religion: or, Vanquish'd Love; which was likewise received with very flattering marks of (118 tinction. To the noble family for whose amusement it was originally intended, this poem proved a most acceptable present; and indeed'such was the success of both these juvenile performances, at a period when the noblest effusions of genius were daily issuing from the press-when, in fact, the literature of England seemed to have reached the zenith of its glory, that several of the first characters in the kingdom not only loaded him with applause, but actually courted his confidence and friendship.

The Cambridge Companion to Coleridge
Author: Lucy Newlyn
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521659093
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one of the most influential, as well as one of the most enigmatic, of all Romantic figures. The possessor of a precocious talent, he dazzled contemporaries with his poetry, journalism, philosophy and oratory without ever quite living up to his early promise, or overcoming problems of dependence and drug addiction. The Cambridge Companion to Coleridge does full justice to the many facets of Coleridge's life and work. Specially commissioned essays focus on his major poems, including The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel, his notebooks, and his major work of non-fiction the Biographia Literaria. Attention is given to his role as talker, journalist, critic, and philosopher, his politics, his religion, and his reputation in his own times and afterwards. A chronology and guides to further reading complete the volume, making this an indispensable guide to Coleridge and his work.
