“Kubla Khan“ by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Bookworm History

Episode 21: On Milton, mountains, and the “Person from Porlock“ “Kubla Khan“ by Samuel Taylor Coleridge Greetings, folks! On this episode of Bookworm History we’re discussing the history behind “Kubla Khan“ by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, one of the most popular poems of the Romantic era. Where did Coleridge get his inspiration? What are some of the sources he drew imagery from? Why is the poem considered a “fragment“? And who was the “Person from Porlock“? For more information, check out “The Road to Xanadu“ by John Livingston Lowes. The copy of “Kubla Khan“ I use in the intro is actually a pop-up book of the poem, designed by Nick Bantock.
