How does Samuel Taylor Coleridge's work differ from William Wordsworth's? Wordsworth was more interested in supernatural forces. Wordsworth's works are simpler and easier to read. Coleridge's poems tend to be set in exotic locations. Coleridge did not identify his work as romantic.

Coleridge's poems tend to be set in exotic locations. Throughout his life Coleridge struggled with disease and drug addiction. He was a wanderer, always traveling, staying with friends and acquaintances. The exotic locations in his poems are indicative of his travels and desire to see new places. Wordsworth did not set his poetry in exotic locations so this is one way in which the works of these poets differ.
