Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was an English poet and a literary critic; with his great friend William Wordsworth he founded the Romantic movement. He is probably best known for his poems 'The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan'. His literary criticism on Shakespeare was highly influential and he is credited with coining the phrase "suspension of disbelief" and the metaphor of "an albatross around one's neck".
