«The Rime of the Ancient Mariner» is Samuel Taylor Coleridge's narrative poem, published by Vintage Classics in paperback (48 pages, in English).
A sailor stops a wedding guest and tells him of his voyage across distant seas. After killing an albatross, the ship and crew suffer supernatural events; the protagonist bears the guilt and seeks redemption. The work combines the Gothic tone with reflection on the relationship between humans and nature.
The poem appeared in 1798 in Lyrical Ballads; modern editions follow the revised version of 1817. Includes illustrations by Mervyn Peake.
For students of English literature and readers of classic poetry interested in Romanticism and the Gothic.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge was an English poet, literary critic, philosopher, and theologian who was a founder of the Romantic Movement in England and a member of the Lake Poets with his friend William Wordsworth. He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd.
