Winning the 1989 Whitbread Prize for Book of the Year, Richard Holmes’s *Coleridge: Early Visions* is the opening part of a two‑volume study that reexamines Samuel Taylor Coleridge, author of ‘Kubla Khan’ and a pivotal figure in the Romantic Movement. Holmes presents Coleridge as a dynamic, animated intellectual whose poetry and encyclopedic thought continue to captivate. By weaving together Coleridge’s creative energy, personal relationships, and evolving political and religious beliefs, the biography offers a vivid reconstruction that invites readers to reconsider the poet’s place in literary history.
