Biographa Literaria, which literally means "Literary Biography," was written by the Romantic Period poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the full title is Biographia Literaria; or, Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions (1817).  This work, which is very dense and often difficult to understand, is Coleridge's discussion of the nature of poetry and the creative process.
