Credits & PermissionsSamuel Taylor Coleridge never completed his Gothic ballad, Christabel. After starting it in the Quantock Hills of Somerset at the turn of the 18th century, he completed only 2 parts (and 'a conclusion'), leaving poor Christabel languishing in limbo for over 200 years up to now.I am a Bristol-UK based poet and writer specializing in long 'walk-poems', epics and sagas. During a residency with the Quantocks AONB sometime back now, I felt called to rescue Christabel by completing Coleridge's original work. I have called my completion 'Christabel Released'. Christabel Released is a true epic ballad of nearly 3 hours in total (with added soundtrack). It starts with Coleridge's extant ballad and then allows the protagonists to work through their own fates. Christabel Released is, I hope, 'in a Coleridgean voice' and is written in homage to Coleridge and the Golden Triangle of Coleridge, William and Dorothy Wordsworth who created 'Romantic poetry' ('the poetry of nature, of the sublime') in the closing years of the 18th century in the Quantock Hills of Somerset. ChristabelReleased was premiered at a weekend performance by me at the suitably Gothic Halsway Manor in the Quantocks to the accompaniment of an 18th century banquet, music of the period and by candlelight with guests staying over the weekend.I am now endeavouring to make Christabel Released better known and more widely available. RIP STC, Sarah Coleridge, William and Dorothy Wordsworth (Ralph Hoyte, poet 2019/Bristol/UK)I am especially grateful to Phill Phelps who recorded the work and helped me with the post-production, and to the Freesound and other artists who either offered their sfx free to use, or with attribution (see 'album credits')
