Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a major poet in the Romantic period who focused his writings on what he was truly passionate about, religion and philosophy. The highest point in Coleridge's life was when he published Lyrical Ballads with his good friend William Wordsworth. Those few years allowed him to grow and really excell in his writing of poetry. After that, Samuel's life went downhill and his health degraded. Before he died on July 25, 1834, he left several unfinished works behind which were eventually found and edited by other scholars.
