Our new book, Down to the Sunless Sea: A Troubled Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the Mediterranean, is out now. Coleridge's Mediterranean sojourn impacted on his life and writing, not to mention his health, which saw a marked decline, leading to his final years in Highgate under the roof of a friendly doctor. Down to the Sunless Sea is a literary reflection on the fact that the sun-filled Mediterranean was not the tonic he had first imagined. This piece we've written for the Times of Sicily gives a little more detail: https://www.timesofsicily.com/down-to-the-sunless-sea/
