Thank you for that link Bookworm girl.

A major early study of Coleridge including "Kubla Khan" is The Road to Xanadu: A Study in the Ways of the Imagination[/I] (Houghton Mifflin, 1927) by John Livingston Lowes.

It is available free for download on Internet Archive and is well worth reading.

I love all three of those great poems by Coleridge and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is utterly entrancing.
