About the author and work: Hartley Coleridge (1796 - 1849), author, was the eldest son of Samuel Coleridge Taylor. As a poet Hartley Coleridge holds more than a respectable rank. Some of his pieces are exquisitely beautiful, and there are not many sonnets in the language more highly finished than his; in these, indeed, his chief strength lies.
