Description

Mary Elizabeth Coleridge, a descendent of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, wrote hundreds of poems throughout her short lifetime, many of which were never published. This collection of 48 poems, issued anonymously as ‘Anodos’ (‘wanderer’), was the first appearance of her verse in print. Her work is notable for its lyricism, mysticism, eccentricity, and evocative visual language.

Coleridge was introduced to Daniel by Robert Bridges in 1895, and she also maintained a warm friendship with Richard Watson Dixon. She, in turn, introduced Ethel Kate Wedgwood to the Daniel Press circle.
