The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (the Complete Illustrated Edition) by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: The Complete Illustrated Edition, Samuel Taylor Coleridge weaves a haunting tale rich with allegorical significance and lyrical beauty. This poem, a cornerstone of Romantic literature, explores profound themes such as guilt, redemption, and the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. Coleridge's vivid imagery and innovative use of meter create a dreamlike quality, inviting readers to traverse the tumultuous waters of the mariner's psyche and the spiritual journey he undertakes after a fateful encounter with a cursed albatross. The accompanying illustrations enhance the text's emotional resonance, allowing for a multi-sensory exploration of its moral complexities and supernatural elements. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement, was deeply influenced by his own struggles with despair and spirituality, which permeate his works. His quest for understanding human experience and natural mysteries is evident in this poem, written during a period of personal turmoil and experimentation with opium and philosophy. With influences ranging from German Romanticism to English folk traditions, Coleridge's lyrical genius is both immediate and timeless. Readers are encouraged to delve into this profound narrative, which offers not only a compelling story but also deep reflections on the human condition. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner remains essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of art, philosophy, and nature, revealing truths that resonate across centuries.| SKU | Unavailable |
