Samenvatting	No other work of American scholarship has ever had quite the impact of The Road to Xanadu. When it appeared in 1927 (now public domain), the intellectual public was dazzled. The book combined the exciting readability of an English detective novel with the massive learning and recondite reference associated with Germany; and in an America that still feared itself provincial, no credentials could have been more helpful. In this text Lowes examines the various sources of Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan', exploring the books that he believed Coleridge would have read. It offers a fascinating insight into the creative process of the master poet. This is a text that will appeal to those with an interest in Coleridge and his most famous poems, and is a book not to be... (Lees verder) missed by the discerning poet and student of poetry. The Road to Xanadu, according to English author Toby Litt, is "a book of a lifetime": "Its argument, that Coleridge had one of the most extraordinary minds the world has ever seen, is there on every page"; it "is one of the books which helped me understand what writing is."
