The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: Complete, Authoritative Texts of the 1798 and 1817 Versions with Biographical and Historical Contexts, Critical History, and Essays from Contemporary Critical Perspectives Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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.
