The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written as Wordsworth's suggestion and published in 1798 in their collaborative and epochal Lyrical Ballads. The Rime is the story of the eponymous mariner who is cursed for killing an albatross, and with 'Kubla Khan', it is one of Coleridge's most famous poems. Gustave Dore became well known in London for his illustrations of the Bible and for his drawings and engraving of London life, which appeared in Jerrold's London in 1872. He illustrated the work of many writers, including Dante, Cervantes, Tennyson and Balzac; his drawings - described as provoking an 'agreeable terror' - for The Rime were particularly suited to the undertones of Coleridge's poem.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge is one of the greatest of English writers, renowned equally for his poetry and critical work. Gustave Dore, a French illustrator and Caricaturist, was famous for his illustrations of London and a number of literary works.
