The Conversation Poems are those eight poems written by the English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge between 1795 and 1807. Each one of them tackles a certain life experience the poet had and ends either happily or sadly.
A rapid reading of these poems may reveal that they have core features of dramatic monologue. Hence, this paper aims to study these eight poems in the light of the characteristics of dramatic monologue. To achieve this aim, the paper falls into three sections and a conclusion. The first section is a brief introduction about the definition of dramatic monologue. The second section is a profile of Coleridge. As for the third section, it provides a critical analysis of the Conversion Poems.
