 Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772 – July 25, 1834) was an English poet, critic, and philosopher who was, along with his friend William Wordsworth, one of the founders of the Romantic Movement in England and as one of the Lake Poets.
He also was reported to have been, according to Dorothy Wordsworth, a "terrible lover" and "one whose realm is not that of the land twixt the sheets," alluding to the fact that opium caused him to have terrible gynecomastia and erectile dysfunction.
Between 1808 and 1819 this "giant among dwarfs", as he was often considered by his contemporaries, gave a series of lectures in London and Bristol – those on Shakespeare renewed interest in the playwright as a model for contemporary writers.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (October 21, 1772 - July 25, 1834) was anEnglish poet, critic, and philosopher and, along with his friend William Wordsworth one of the founders of the RomanticMovement in England.
From 1804 to 1806, Coleridge lived in Malta and travelled in Sicily and Italy, apparently in the hope that leaving Britain's damp climate would improve his health and thus enable himto reduce his consumption of opium.
Thomas de Quincey alleges in his Recollections ofthe Lakes and the Lake Poets that it was during this period that Coleridge became a full-blown opium addict, using the drugas a substitute for the lost vigour and creativity of his youth.

The dictionary had no university connection originally; it was conceived in London as a project of the Philological Society, where Richard Chenevix Trench, Herbert Coleridge, and Frederick Furnivall had become dissatisfied with the available dictionaries of English.
Trench played a key role in the first months of the project, but his ecclesiastical career meant that he could not give the dictionary the continued attention that it needed over a period that, it was realized, might easily be as long as 10 years.
On May 12, 1860, Coleridge's plan for the work was published, and the research was set in motion.

There is also a hint by Edwards, at the end of the chapter, that the challenge of Deism addressed to George Herbert by his brother Edward might still be taken up as a subject for a great poem, in a way that Herbert’s limitations could never have allowed.

In “But What’s a Dictionary For?” (Atlantic, May 1962), Evans argued that “correctness can rest only upon usage, for the simple reason that there is nothing else for it to rest on.” He had historical precedents.
Samuel Johnson in his epochal 1755 dictionary wrote, “the pen must at length comply with the tongue”; Herbert Coleridge, helping conceive the Oxford English Dictionary, wrote collaborator Richard Trench (1860) that a dictionary should not just “select the good words.”
Nevertheless, people attacked the1961 Webster’ with a fury akin to that of right-wing radio.
