Product Description
Product Description
This edition of Coleridge's classic poem reprints the 1798 and 1817 texts along with critical essays that read "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" from five contemporary critical perspectives: reader response; Marxist; psychoanalytic; deconstructionist and new historical. An additional essay demonstrates how these various approaches can be combined.

"Water, water everywhere...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (African Art Art of Illustration) (Paperback)
And all the boards did shrink. Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink." These famous lines, like the opening lines of Coleridge's Kubla Khan, are often quoted, but I sometimes wonder if the people who quote them have read this wonderful poem. The poem is full of mystery and horror, from the Mariner stopping the wedding guest, to the incident w/ the albatros, to the gambling of Death and Death-In-Life... I could go on and on. The language is so rich, and the poet's comments make the content more clear for anyone who becomes confused. The illustrations of this edition are beautiful and definately complement the text. This is a haunting poem that you will want to read again and again. If you have not read it before, do yourself a favor and find a copy.

Good formatting on this Kindle edition,
By Oli Grünfeld (DAGENHAM, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Kindle Edition)
Just a comment to say that the Kindle formatting is fine on this edition (whereas it really isn't on the other currently available free versions).
So if you're looking for a Kindle version of this poem this is the one to get -- five stars for the price and the layout. The poem's not bad too. :-)

The Mariner as the spitting image of doubt,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (African Art Art of Illustration) (Paperback)
I've just stumbled into "The Rhyme" by hearing an Heavy Metal song (Iron Maiden's Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner), it's not much of an approach to British Classical Poetry but it was a beginning.
I'd really liked the strieving of the poor man that lived on a tragedy like the death of his mates, and all for his own fault. The obvious drift to everyday life's doubt is clear, I still have to understand the bird's meaning..
I didn't liked the Italian translation so I've re-written it in Italian, with a lot of effort, it's strange how it resembles Dante's Divina Comedia, it has all the same features, God, The Evil, Death, Blood, Sweat and Tears.
At the end of the day a pleasant companion for your sleepless night, Thank you Sam !
