As originally planned Coleridge’s Biographia literaria and Sibylline leaves were to form v. 1 and 2 respectively of a single work. It contains the revised version of “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” eight other poems, and the guest appearance of a poem by the American poet and artist Washington Allston.

Biographia literaria: or, Biographical sketches of my literary life and opinions 

London: R. Fenner; 1817 

One of the most astonishing works of literary autobiography/criticism/analysis in all of English literature, and an even more amazing production when one considers that Coleridge dictated the text. “Coleridge talked the Biographia into life,” according to biographer Richard Holmes.
