In the 19th century the term Psilanthropism, was applied by such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge who so called his own view that Jesus was the son of Joseph.

The book Coleridge was reading before he fell asleep was Purchas, his Pilgrimage, or Relations of the World and Religions Observed in All Ages and Places Discovered, from the Creation to the Present, by the English clergyman and geographer Samuel Purchas, first written in 1613.

The text about Xanadu in Purchas, His Pilgrimage, which Coleridge admitted he did not remember exactly, was: " In Xandu did Cublai Can build a stately Pallace, encompassing sixteen miles of plaine ground with a wall, wherein are fertile Meddowes, pleasant Springs, delightfull streames, and all sorts of beasts of chase and game, and in the middest thereof a sumptuous house of pleasure, which may be moved from place to place.

These were both times he was in the area, and, by 1799, Coleridge was able to read Robert Southey's Thalaba the Destroyer, a work which also drew on Purchas's work.

The work was set aside until 1815 when Coleridge compiled manuscripts of his poems for a collection titled Sibylline Leaves.

The collection of poems was published 25 May 1816, and Coleridge included " A Fragment " as a subtitle to the 54 line version of the poem to defend against criticism of the poem's incomplete nature.

Printed with Kubla Khan was a preface that claimed an opium induced dream provided Coleridge the lines.

However, the odal hymn as used by others has a stronger unity among its parts, and Coleridge believed in writing poetry that was unified organically.

It is possible that Coleridge was displeased by the lack of unity in the poem and added a note about the structure to the Preface to explain his thoughts.

It is possible that the words of Purchas were merely remembered by Coleridge and that the depiction of immediately reading the work before falling asleep was to suggest that the subject came to him accidentally.

Towards the end of 1797, Coleridge was fascinated with the idea of a river and it was used in multiple poems including Kubla Khan and " The Brook ".

Coleridge believed that the Tartars were violent, and that their culture was opposite to the civilised Chinese.

Coleridge, when composing the poem, believed in a connection between nature and the divine but believed that the only dome that should serve as the top of a temple was the sky.

However, Coleridge did believe that a dome could be positive if it was connected to religion, but the Khan's dome was one of immoral pleasure and a purposeless life dominated by sensuality and pleasure.

She is also similar to the later subject of many of Coleridge's poems, Asra, based on Sara Hutchinson, whom Coleridge wanted but was not his wife and experienced opium induced dreams of being with her.

Of the sources, Coleridge was influenced by the surrounding of Culbone Combe and its hills, gulleys, and other features including the " mystical " and " sacred " locations in the region.

Although Asra / Hutchinson is similar to the way Coleridge talks about the Abyssinian maid, Hutchinson was someone he met after writing Kubla Khan.

The poem's claim that the narrator would be inspired to act if the song of the maid could be heard was a belief that Coleridge held regarding Evans after she become unattainable to him.

Before the poem was published, it was greatly favoured by Byron, who encouraged Coleridge to publish the poem, and it was admired by many people including Walter Scott.

Also living at Greta Hall with Southey and supported by him were Sara Coleridge and her three children following their abandonment by Coleridge and the widow of fellow poet Robert Lovell and her son.

In the 1850 introduction, Wordsworth explains what the original idea, inspired by his " dear friend " Coleridge, was: " to compose a philosophical Poem, containing views of Man, Nature, and Society, and to be entitled the Recluse ; as having for its principal subject, the sensations and opinions of a poet living in retirement.

Coleridge attributed the poem's origins to one of his stays at Ash Farm, possibly the one that happened in October 1797: " This fragment with a good deal more, not recoverable, composed, in a sort of Reverie brought on by two grains of Opium taken to check a dysentry, at a Farm House between Porlock & Linton, a quarter of a mile from Culbone Church, in the fall of the year, 1797 ".

It is possible that he merely edited the poem during those time periods, and there is little evidence to suggest that Coleridge lied about the opium-induced experience at Ash Farm.

" Another emphasis on the musicality of the poem came in August 1834, with Henry Nelson Coleridge analysis in the Quarterly Review: " In some of the smaller pieces, as the conclusion of the ' Kubla Khan ', for example, not only the lines by themselves are musical, but the whole passage sounds all at once as an outburst or crash of harps in the still air of autumn.

When turning to the background of the works, he argued, " Coleridge as Coleridge, be it said at once, is a secondary moment to our purpose ; it is the significant process, not the man, which constitutes our theme.

" In concluding about the poem, she argued, " In truth, there are other ' Fears in Solitude ' than that written by Coleridge and there are other ' Frosts at Midnight '; but there are no other ' Ancient Mariners ' or ' Kubla Khans ,' nor are there likely to be.

The soothing waters of the hotel's hot spring and the lively social life on Nevis attracted many famous Europeans, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Antigua-based Admiral Nelson, and Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence, ( future William IV of the United Kingdom ), who attended balls and private parties at the Bath Hotel.

In 1797 he contributed additional blank verse to the second edition, and met the Wordsworths, William and Dorothy, on his short summer holiday with Coleridge at Nether Stowey, thereby also striking up a lifelong friendship with William.

The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived here for three years from 1797 while he wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, part of Christabel, Frost at Midnight and Kubla Khan.
