His career as a poet and writer was established after he befriended fellow poet William Wordsworth. During the politically charged late 18th century, Coleridge made a name for himself both as a political radical and as an important young poet. For most of his adult life he suffered from addiction to the drugs laudanum and opium. His most famous works – ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’, ‘Kubla Khan’ and ‘Christabel’ – all featured supernatural themes and exotic images.
