Description

Coleridge writes to De Quincey

English poet (1772-1834) best remembered for 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan.' ALS signed “S. T. Coleridge,” one page, 7.25 x 9.25, April 17, 1810. Letter to essayist Thomas De Quincy, remembered for his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. In part: "I came down with the Jena Review, was caught in a hard shower—and not willing to have got a wetting for nothing, have taken the liberty of carrying away with me the remaining Nos. of the work." In fine condition, with a light stain to the upper right corner. Published in the Collected Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, edited by Earl L. Griggs, published by the Oxford University Press. A desirable association between prominent 19th century English writers.
