Samuel Taylor Coleridge has been universally acclaimed as the most celebrated mystic poet in the realm of English poetry. His super art in creating dreadful, terrific and pathetic situations on extremely supernatural canvas is so marvelous that it enables the readers to undergo the same tremor of art as is evinced in his mystic poems. While studying Coleridge’s poems, it was revealed that they cover a vast vista of human sentiments laid down by the great sage Bharata in his celebrated Natya Shastra. Thus, it has been endeavoured to analyse and illustrate them in the light of Indian theory of Rasa. The study has been systematically divided into introduction of Indian concept of Rasa, the general nature of all the nine sentiments along with their constituents as propounded by Bharata followed by a detailed account of the life and mental trend of Coleridge in evaluating and studying the poems from the psychological point of view. So that a judicious study of his talent as mystic poet can be made. Thus, this pioneering and unique work will serve as beacon light to all those scholars of English who possess a knack of studying different English poets in the light of Rasa Theory.
