Given how Coleridge and Wordsworth literally write the
book on Romanticism, it makes more sense to ask how other Romantic writers resembled he
and his ideas. Coleridge's use of imagination and the "other worldly" quality of the
supernatural were all aspects of his thinking and work that resembles him to other
Romantic thinkers. The construction of a world that lies outside this one in "Kubla
Khan" is an important work of Romanticism because it seeks to entice and engage the
reader's imagination. Rather than present a world that is predictable and conformist,
Coleridge offers a world that probes through the reader's imagination. Another example
would be the moral and ethical implications of his poem, "Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
The albatross and the significance with it helps to reaffirm social order and the idea
that what can be can be changed or transformed into what should be. These ideas are
ones that other Romantic thinkers after Coleridge embody and expand upon in the course
of their work.
