Two Great Poets - Coleridge and Wordsworth Analytical Essay by Annette

This paper takes a look at how two contemporary poets from the Romantic era of English Literature - Coleridge and Wordsworth, who shared colleagues and personal friends, had quite different attitudes to the world as reflected in their poetry.

From the paper:

"Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth were two of the greatest champions of the Romantic Movement in English literature as well as colleagues and personal friends. And yet it would be a mistake to identify them too closely with each other, for while they were both properly enamored ? as must all Romantic poets have been ? of the intense emotions that the world of nature could arouse in the human spirit, they nevertheless approached the relationship of the individual to the natural world in very different ways."
