Phantasmion
About This Book
Sara was the last of Coleridge's three surviving children, and in some ways the most interesting. Like Derwent, she was a linguist and translator; like Hartley, she was a poet. Phantasmion is an imaginative fairy tale on a grand scale, in prose interspersed with lyrical verse passages. The hero encounters spirits of the earth and storm, has many adventures (including being transformed into a flying serpent), and finally triumphs over the forces of darkness. After her father's death in 1834 Sara edited a number of his works, at first with her husband and cousin Henry Nelson Coleridge, then on her own. Her 1847 edition of Biographia literaria is especially impressive. She died in 1852.
