After conducting the study, it was found out that Coleridge’s works can be considered as tools for expressing the perils of materialism.Īrticle Info: Received: Received in revised from: Accepted: Available online: ĭOI: 10.22161/ijels.72. This bundle includes resources for teaching Samuel Taylor Coleridges Kubla Khan and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore how Coleridge criticized materialism through the use of these philosophical undertones. Samuel Taylor Coleridge is among some of the noteworthy litterateurs whose works are rich in philosophical undertones. The existing literature that reflects on cultural materialism mainly intends to analyse the historical context of certain socio-political and cultural phenomena from a radical and rebellious point of view. Originally written in either 1797 or 1798, it was not published until 1816 (along with Christabel ). However, there is a parallel notion that the happiness gained through materialism is short lived. Along with The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Kubla Khan is one of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s two most famous and most-quoted-from poems.
