Who wrote the poem 'Kubla Khan'?

Who wrote the poem “Kubla Khan”? Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote it. The poem, formally titled “Kubla Khan: Or, A Vision in a Dream. A Fragment,” is one of English Romanticism’s most famous works.

Coleridge said he composed it in 1797 after falling asleep while reading about Xanadu, the summer capital of Kublai Khan. He attributed the poem’s unfinished state to an interruption by “a person on business from Porlock,” after which he claimed the remaining lines vanished from memory. Scholars have debated how literally to take this account, but the poem’s dreamlike imagery and fragmentary form are central to its reputation.

“Kubla Khan” was not published until 1816, when Lord Byron encouraged Coleridge to print it. It appeared alongside “Christabel” and “The Pains of Sleep.” The poem is often confused with Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” another major Romantic poem, or with William Wordsworth’s poetry because Coleridge and Wordsworth were closely associated Lake Poets.
