    About this audiobook

    The sixth month of the Gregorian calendar heralds a new season – Summer. Lengthening days, Sunshine days, Glorious days!

    In this month our classic poets flex their lexicons with verse that describes all manner of events. The weather may be warm or windy, showers, squalls and storms may momentarily darken skies with grey foreboding but Nature will soon be at work again on a palette of such bright and dazzling hues that the landscape is reborn again.

    Author

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), English lyrical poet, critic, and philosopher, whose Lyrical Ballads (1798), written with William Wordsworth, started the English Romantic movement. He was born in Ottery St Mary where his father was the vicar, and he was at school with Charles Lamb and Leigh Hunt, and spent two years at Jesus College, Cambridge. He is best known for his poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, but his critical work, especially on Shakespeare was highly influential, and he helped introduce German idealist philosophy to English-speaking culture. He also suffered from poor physical health that may have stemmed from a bout of rheumatic fever and other childhood illnesses. He was treated for these concerns with laudanum, which fostered a lifelong opium addiction.
