FIRST EDITION, containing the first printings of three of Coleridge's most celebrated poems. Coleridge began writing "Christabel" as early as 1803. "Kubla Khan," which Coleridge composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream in 1797, could not be completed according to his original plan; while writing, Coleridge was interrupted by "a person from Porlock," and the interruption caused him to forget the lines. He would read the poem periodically to the Wordsworths, Lord Byron, and other friends, and in April 1816, Byron persuaded him to publish the visionary Kubla Khan and Christabel.
