Coleridge was one of the few harbingers of Romanticism in England, and the enunciator of psychological criticism. One will certainly miss English Romanticism of about 150 years, if he does not interest himself in Coleridge. One of the most loving and suffering souls of English literature, Coleridge was not only a great poet of the supernatural, but also a great critic and prosodist. In this book, the objective of the author has been to present Coleridge in his essentials (as the Content of the book may show), against the back-drop of English Romanticism, in plain terms and without any presumptions. Seventeen select poems of the poet have been discussed, to some extent threadbare, and the texts of those poems have been given for facility.

Dr. Sunil Kumar Sarker holds Ph.D. in both English and Philosophy, and is a Reader in Raiganj (University) College. So far, he has published eleven books, most of which are on English literature, and so this one is his twelfth.
