Fire, Famine and Slaughter What the Gothic horrors were doing to the popular press of Britain in the late Eighteenth Century, Romanticism was doing to the hallowed halls of poetry. It was a movement that is not in any way unfamiliar to those in the latter stages of the Twentieth Century, rising on a sudden distrust of rationality and science, an embrace of experience over knowledge, wonder over facts, a return to the natural world and the supernatural in preference to man's constricted realm. Charles Lamb, William Blake, Lord Byron, John Keats, Sir Walter Scott and poor old Percy Shelley can be counted in the number of Romanticists, and the movement was in some ways an expansion into popularity of the so-called 'graveyard poets' earlier in the century

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was born on August 15, 1875 in Holborn, England (a suburb of London). His father, Daniel Hughes Taylor, was a native of Sierra Leone, and his mother was English. Daniel Taylor came to England to study medicine. He was a student at Taunton College, Somerset and later at Kings College in London. His work led him to become a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and to obtain a license from the Royal College of Physicians. His father was not a part of Coleridge-Taylor's life, returning to Sierra Leone either before Samuel's birth or while he was a very young boy. William Tortolano in his book Samuel Coleridge-Taylor; Anglo-Black Composer, 1875-1912 (Metuchen, NJ, Scarecrow, 1977) states: The young doctor became an assistant... The white patients seemed to like the young assistant... Eventually he sought a practice of his own but this became disastrous because of resentment of his color. As an assistant he was received with little reservation, but as an independent doctor he was mistrusted. Dr. Taylor returned to Africa around 1876. As a child Coleridge-Taylor studied violin and sang in the choir of St. George's Church, Croydon. At the age of fifteen he was admitted by Sir George Grove to the Royal College of Music as a violin student. While at the Royal College his interest in composition grew. With the support of Colonel Herbert Walters, one of his first benefactors, and Grove, arrangements were made that Coleridge-Taylor would study composition with Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. While studying with Stanford, Coleridge-Taylor competed for one of the nine open scholarships at the college and was awarded the fellowship in composition (1893). At that time Grove wrote, "Now you are a scholar...you are now before the world..."

Zapolya Timeline Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in Ottery St. Mary, youngest of the ten children of John Coleridge, a minister, and Ann Bowden Coleridge Approx 1780 He was often bullied as a child by Frank, the next youngest, and his mother was apparently a bit distant, so it was no surprise when Coleridge ran away at age seven. He was found early the next morning by a neighbor, but the events of his night outdoors frequently showed up in imagery in his poems as well as the notebooks he kept for most of his adult life. John Coleridge died (His father), and young Coleridge was sent away to a London charity school for children of the clergy His brother Luke died. His only sister Ann died, inspiring Col to write Monody , one of his first poems. Coleridge was very ill around this time and probably took laudanum for the illness, thus beginning his lifelong opium addiction. He had started to hope for poetic fame, but by now, he owed about £150 (because of opium, alcohol, and women)and was desparate. So he joined the army. His family was furious. He`d used the improbable name of Silas Tomkyn Comberbache and had escaped being sent to fight in France because he could only barely ride a horse.

Y Z Kubla Khan I N Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced: Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail: And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river. Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran
