|  Coleridge was born in 1772. He published “Lyrical Ballads” in 1798, that is the manifesto of Romantic poetry. He was son of a priest, but his father died very soon and he was sent to Christ’s Hospital, a charity school in London. He finished into a boarding-school. He didn’t want to study in Cambridge, he couldn’t respect rules, but he continued to write. He was a free spirit and by 1820 he had finished as a poet. Then, he became an excellent critic. Writing poetry became too hard, so he became a literary critic: he was very good at writing and he rediscovered Shakespeare. He wrote a lot of criticism of Shakespeare’s poems. He made lectures, but he didn’t continue to write. His wife abandoned him. He left children to his brother-in-law Sully. Fonte: Pavi92 https://myenglish.blogfree.net/ |
