The Poems were finally published on Lord Byron’s advice when the two poets met. On the same day Coleridge mentions in a letter meeting Byron, stating that Byron’s face was ‘so beautiful, a countenance I scarcely ever saw’ and ‘his eyes the open portals of the sun – things of light, and for light’. Alongside his fellow poet and friend William Wordsworth, Coleridge began the romantic movement in England, founding the Lake Poets. In 1798 they jointly published ‘ Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems’, The publication gave birth to the Romantic movement in English literature. Lyrical Ballads and the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, are featured in the Industrial Sublime Tarot, a Tarot Deck with original art featuring the historical characters of the years 1760 to 1848.

13th July 1793, murder of French political theorist, physician and journalist Jean-Paul Marat. A radical voice during the early years of the French Revolution, Marat championed the voice of the poor through his periodical ‘L'Ami du peuple’ (Friend of the People), aligning himself with the radical Jacobins. Upon the ascension of the Jacobins to power this same year, they sought to eradicate their moderate rivals known as the Girondins. One Girondin sympathiser and royalist named Charlotte Corday, one this day gained access to Marat’s house, while he was taking a medicinal bath to aid the debilitating skin condition he suffered from. After claiming that she had vital information on a group of escaped Girondins, she withdrew a five-inch kitchen knife out from her corset, and brought it down hard into Marat's chest. For the murder Charlotte Corday was guillotened four days later, claiming "I killed one man to save 100,000." Marat was later immortalised the same year by the French painter Jacques-Louis David in his painting, ‘The Death of Marat’. 14th July 1789, pre revolutionary tensions in Paris culminate at the site of the Mediaeval prison known as the Bastille. Although only housing seven prisoners on this day, the fortress was seen as representing the pinnacle of monarchical abuse of power. With rioting already occurring across Paris, hostilities began at the Bastille by impassioned speeches by French journalist and revolutionary Camille Desmoulins, and one of the Bastille’s own residents, the Marquis De Sade, who was removed at the beginning of the month, for shouting from the window of his cell, that the prison authorities planned to massacre the inmates, (continued in the comments). #gothichorrorart #romanticismart #romanticism #gothichorror #gothicacademia #frenchrevolution #bastille #bastilleday #bastilleday🇫🇷 #guillotine #gothicillustration #darkacademiaaesthetic #frenchhistory #tarotart #gothicprint #gothicprints #darkromance #darkromantic #gothicliterature #darkarts #darkillustration #tarothistory #darkartwork #darkartandcraft #darkaesthetic #darkartistssubmission #headlessportrait #18thcenturyhistory #19thcenturyhistory #gothichistory https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_pVaROUHe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

7th May 1840, death of German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, known for his paintings of the emotional contemplation of nature, alongside gothic ruins, and graveyards, barren trees, and silhouetted figures. Friedrich suffered depressive episodes throughout his life which fueled the symbology of his paintings. Towards the last twenty years of his life, as romanticism’s grip on the cultural imagination began to wane, he lived as a recluse, derided as being eccentric and melancholic; the"most solitary of the solitary". Spending days wandering alone in woods and fields during the days and the night. In June 1835, he suffered his first stroke, and gradually declined until his death on this day.
