Abstract
Many of the words used by S.T. coleridge to express his critical philosophy of literature are familiar. He writes of metaphysics as well as aesthetics, beauty and pleasure, and above all, unity. His definitions of these terms, however popular the terms were, are in many ways remarkably different from his contemporaries and diverge greatly from the classical influences of his time. Though he is so often put in opposition to his literary peers for his ideological differences, the ultimate goal of samuel taylor coleridge's artistic theory is to a reach a thoroughly flexible synthesis of those creative approaches which seem so disparate. Though his creative concepts do just this, it leaves him only influential and alone in the literary landscape. samuel taylor coleridge's point of origin, according to those hospital and church documents available , is October 21st, 1772. coleridge himself went much of his life insisting that he was born one day earlier and then toward the middle of his life he began to claim two whole years had been tacked on to his birth certificate.
