Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), English lyrical poet, critic, and philosopher, whose Lyrical Ballads,(1798) written with William Wordsworth, started the English Romantic movement. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in Ottery St Mary, Devonshire, as the youngest son of the vicar of Ottery St Mary. After his father's death Coleridge was sent away to Christ's Hospital School in London. He also studied at Jesus College. In Cambridge Coleridge met the radical, future poet laureate Robert Southey.
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was an Advocate and one of the world's greatest writers. He collected around 9000 books and his library at his home at Abbotsford, near Melrose, remains much as he left it. The library is one of a relatively small number of world-class writers' libraries.
