1883 Rime of the Ancient Mariner Scott Illustrated FOLIO Samuel Taylor COLERIDGE
“Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner” is a masterwork by the prominent English poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, first published in 1798. This lengthy poem recounts the eerie tale of a mariner who, on returning from a harrowing sea journey, feels compelled to share his story with a wedding guest. During his voyage, the mariner makes the grave mistake of killing a guiding albatross, invoking the wrath of supernatural entities. This act leads to a series of misfortunes for the ship and its crew, culminating in death, guilt, and penance. The poem is rich in themes, with the narrative weaving through elements of nature’s beauty, the supernatural, redemption, and the power of prayer. The mariner’s ultimate lesson emphasizes the importance of respecting all living things, as he ends up wandering the earth, perpetually retelling his cautionary tale.
This edition, adorned with illustrations by David Scott, is further enriched with insights into the artist’s life and comprehensive descriptions of each plate, penned by Rev. A.L. Simpson. Coleridge’s story serves as a pivotal piece in British Romantic literature, marking a notable shift in poetic style and themes. Apart from this classic, Coleridge is also renowned for his contributions to the Romantic Movement, collaborations with other literary figures, and his philosophical insights which greatly impacted English literature and beyond.
