She latter added that ""Of all the poems Coleridge wrote, three are beyond compare. These three, 'The Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan,' produced an aura which defies definition, but which might be properly be called one of 'natural magic.'"" What"

We trust, however, that satiety will banish what good sense should have prevented; and that, wearied with fiends, incomprehensible characters, with shrieks, murders, and subterraneous dungeons, the public will learn, by the multitude of the manufacturers, with how little expense of thought or imagination this species of composition is manufactured."" However, Coleridge used these elements in poems such as ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" (1798), ""Christabel"" and ""Kubla Khan"" (published in 1816, but known in manuscript form before then)"
"these wonderful lines as the voice of Poesy itself."" Critics at the end of the 19th century favoured the poem and placed it as one of Coleridge's best works. When discussing ""Christabel"", ""Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" and ""Kubla Khan"", an anonymous reviewer in the October 1893 ""The Church Quarterly Review"" claimed, ""In these poems Coleridge achieves a mastery of language and rhythm which is nowhere else conspicuously evident in him."" In 1895, Andrew Lang reviewed the ""Letters of Coleridge"" in addition to Coleridge's ""Kubla Khan"", ""Christabel"" and ""Rime of the Ancient Mariner"", saying: ""all these poems are 'miraculous;' all"
"Kubla Khan ""Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment"" is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, completed in 1797 and published in 1816. According to Coleridge's preface to ""Kubla Khan"", the poem was composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler and Emperor of China Kublai Khan. Upon waking, he set about writing lines of poetry that came to him from the dream until he was interrupted by ""a person from Porlock"". The poem could not be completed according to its original"
"of Coleridge's life. In 1795, Coleridge met poet William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy. (Wordsworth, having visited him and being enchanted by the surroundings, rented Alfoxton Park, a little over three miles [5 km] away.) Besides the ""Rime of The Ancient Mariner"", Coleridge composed the symbolic poem ""Kubla Khan"", written—Coleridge himself claimed—as a result of an opium dream, in ""a kind of a reverie""; and the first part of the narrative poem ""Christabel"". The writing of ""Kubla Khan"", written about the Mongol emperor Kublai Khan and his legendary palace at Xanadu, was said to have been interrupted by the arrival"
"only a few poems of the first rank – perhaps no more than a dozen, all told – and he seems to have taken a very casual attitude toward them ... he kept 'Kubla Khan' in manuscript for nearly twenty years before offering it to the public 'rather as a psychological curiosity, than on the grounds of any supposed ""poetic"" merits'"". Harold Bloom, in 2010, argued that Coleridge wrote two kinds of poems and that ""The daemonic group, necessarily more famous, is the triad of ""The Ancient Mariner"", ""Christabel"", and 'Kubla Khan.'"" He goes on to explain the ""daemonic"": ""Opium"
"of the poem that emphasised the poem's power. In ""Road to Xanadu"" (1927), a book length study of ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" and ""Kubla Khan"", John Livingston Lowes claimed that the poems were ""two of the most remarkable poems in English"". When turning to the background of the works, he argued, ""Coleridge as Coleridge, be it said at once, is a secondary moment to our purpose; it is the significant process, not the man, which constitutes our theme. But the amazing ""modus operandi"" of his genius, in the fresh light which I hope I have to offer, becomes"
"200–300 line plan as the interruption caused him to forget the lines. He left it unpublished and kept it for private readings for his friends until 1816 when, at the prompting of Lord Byron, it was published. Some of Coleridge's contemporaries denounced the poem and questioned his story of its origin. It was not until years later that critics began to openly admire the poem. Most modern critics now view ""Kubla Khan"" as one of Coleridge's three great poems, along with ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" and ""Christabel"". The poem is considered one of the most famous examples of"
"poem is steeped in the wonder of all Coleridge's enchanted voyagings."" Lowes then concluded about the two works: ""Not even in the magical four and fifty lines of 'Kubla Khan' is sheer visualizing energy so intensely exercised as in 'The Ancient Mariner.' But every crystal-clear picture there, is an integral part of a preconceived and consciously elaborated whole ... In 'Kubla Khan' the linked and interweaving images irresponsibly and gloriously stream, like the pulsing, fluctuating banners of the North. And their pageant is as aimless as it is magnificent ... There is, then ... one glory of 'Kubla Khan' and"
"mysteriously given to the poet and dispelled irrecoverably."" Also in 1990, Thomas McFarland stated, ""Judging by the number and variety of critical effort to interpret their meaning, there may be no more palpably symbolic poems in all of English literature than ""Kubla Khan"" and ""The Ancient Mariner""."" In 1996, Rosemary Ashton claimed that the poem was ""one of the most famous poems in the language"" and claimed the Preface as ""the most famous, but probably not the most accurate, preface in literary history."" Richard Holmes, in 1998, declared the importance of the poem's Preface while describing the reception of the"
"due to their ""exquisite metrical movement"" and ""imaginative phrasing."" The eight of Coleridge's poems listed above are now often discussed as a group entitled ""Conversation poems"". The term itself was coined in 1928 by George McLean Harper, who borrowed the subtitle of ""The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem"" (1798) to describe the seven other poems as well. The poems are considered by many critics to be among Coleridge's finest verses; thus Harold Bloom has written, ""With ""Dejection"", ""The Ancient Mariner"", and ""Kubla Khan"", ""Frost at Midnight"" shows Coleridge at his most impressive."" They are also among his most influential poems, as"
"seem to have been 'given' by the dreaming 'subconscious self' of Coleridge. The earliest pieces hold no promise of these marvels. They come from what is oldest in Coleridge's nature, his uninvited and irrepressible intuition, magical and rare, vivid beyond common sight of common things, sweet beyond sound of things heard."" G E Woodberry, in 1897, said that ""Christabel"", ""Rime of the Ancient Mariner"", and ""Kubla Khan"" ""are the marvelous creations of his genius. In these it will be said there is both a world of nature new created, and a dramatic method and interest. It is enough for the"
"another glory of 'The Ancient Mariner,' as one star differeth from another star in glory."" George Watson, in 1966, claimed that Lowes's analysis of the poems ""will stand as a permanent monument to historical criticism."" Also in 1966, Kenneth Burke, declared, ""Count me among those who would view this poem both as a marvel, and as 'in principle' ""finished"""" T. S. Eliot attacked the reputation of ""Kubla Khan"" and sparked a dispute within literary criticism with his analysis of the poem in his essay ""Origin and Uses of Poetry"" from ""The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism"" (1933):"
"""The History of Hindostan"", and Heliodorus's ""Aethiopian History"". The poem also contains allusions to the Book of Revelation in its description of New Jerusalem and to the paradise of William Shakespeare's ""A Midsummer Night's Dream"". As for specific places, the main character is Kublai Khan the Tartar king from China, the river is Alpheus in Greece and is similar to the Nile, and the Abyssinian woman sings of Mount Amara, and the caves are like those in Kashmir. Also, the name ""Alph"" could connect to the idea of being an alpha or original place. The sources used for ""Kubla Khan"""
"As well as writing poetry he was a literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets. It was while he was living in Nether Stowey that Coleridge wrote ""This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison"", ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"", part of ""Christabel"", and ""Frost at Midnight"". While writing ""Kubla Khan; or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment"", Coleridge was said to have been interrupted by the arrival of a ""Person from Porlock"".

"social views with the advocacy of individual subjective experience influenced writers such as William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Wollstonecraft's ""incarnational theory of the creative imagination"" paved the way for Wordsworth's thorough treatment of the imagination and its relation to the self in Book V of ""The Prelude"" (1805; 1850). Her book also had a significant influence on Coleridge's ""Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" (1797–99) and Percy Shelley's ""Alastor"" (1815); their depictions of ""quest[s] for a settled home"" strongly resemble Wollstonecraft's.

In her monograph on the subject, Muireann Maguire writes, ""The centrality of the Gothic-fantastic to Russian fiction is almost impossible to exaggerate, and certainly exceptional in the context of world literature."" Further contributions to the Gothic genre were seen in the work of the Romantic poets. Prominent examples include Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" and ""Christabel"" as well as John Keats' ""La Belle Dame sans Merci"" (1819) and ""Isabella, or the Pot of Basil"" (1820)"
