Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical and Dramatic Works of S. T. Coleridge, Vol. 1 of 3
Only thirty-six of the Juvenile Poems were in cluded in the collection Of Coleridge's Poetical and Dramatic Works, published by Mr. Picker ing in 1828. These all produced before the Au thor's twenty-fourth year, devoted as he was to the soft strains of Bowles, have more in common with the passionate lyrics of Collins and the pic tnresqne wildness Of the pretended Ossian, than with the well-tuned sentimentality of that Muse which the over-grateful poet has represented as his earliest inspirer. For the young they will ever retain a peculiar charm, because so fraught with the joyous Spirit of youth and in the minds Of all readers that feeling which disposes men to set the bud above the rose full-blown would secure them an interest, even if their intrinsic beauty and sweetness were less adequate to Ob tain it.
