Sara Coleridge (1802 – 1852) was the daughter of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and a neighbor of poet William Wordsworth. Fluent in Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, Sara first focused on translating works from these languages. After she married and had children, she began writing poetry for children. Sara's work was popular and well respected in her day. She died of breast cancer, leaving behind a partially-written autobiography, Memoirs and Letters of Sara Coleridge, which her daughter completed and published after her mother's death.
