Kubla Khan
'Kubla Khan' Summary
Kubla Khan is a famous and influential poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Written in 1797, the poem is known for its evocative imagery, dream-like atmosphere, and incomplete nature. It tells the story of Kubla Khan, the Mongol emperor, who builds a magnificent palace called Xanadu in a landscape of exotic beauty. The poem is a vivid exploration of imagination, creativity, and the power of the unconscious mind. Coleridge himself claimed that the poem came to him in a dream-like state after taking opium, and that he only managed to remember fragments of it upon waking.Book Details
