A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Coleridge, Sara Henry
COLERIDGE, SARA HENRY,
An English poetess, daughter of the distinguished poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and wife of his nephew, Henry Nelson Coleridge, well known for his contributions to classical learning, and as editor of his uncle's posthumous works; this lady has shown herself worthy of her birth-right as a "poet's daughter," and of her station as the bosom-companion of an eminent scholar.
The first work of Mrs. Coleridge was a translation of the "History of the Abipones," from the Latin of Dobrizhoffer; her next was a beautiful fairytale, called "Phantasmion," published in 1837, and deservedly admired as an exquisite creation of feminine genius. Besides these, she has written poems, evincing talent of no common order. A distinguished critic remarks thus, concerning her:—"With an imagination like a prism shedding rainbow changes on her thoughts, she shows study without the affectation of it, and a Greek-like closeness of expression."
