Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Day with Samuel Taylor Coleridge" by May Byron is a biographical account written in the early 20th century that delves into a day in the life of the renowned poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The book explores the themes of creativity, domestic life, and the inner turmoil of an artist grappling with both personal and financial struggles while living in the picturesque setting of Nether Stowey. It encapsulates the poetic spirit of the Romantic era, highlighting the beauty of nature and the complexities of human relationships. The narrative centers around a May morning in 1790, capturing Coleridge as he balances his roles as a husband, father, and poet. As he partakes in mundane household tasks with humor and resignation, the tensions of domestic life unfold, particularly through interactions with his wife Sara and his pupil Charles Lloyd. Throughout the day, Coleridge enjoys the companionship of fellow poet William Wordsworth and reflects on his aspirations and inspirations, revealing his deep attachment to the natural world and his wrestling with existential doubts. Ultimately, the book paints a vivid portrait of Coleridge's duality as a man of profound imagination and a soul burdened by the weight of his potential.
