| Scope and content |
"This is the first book-length study to read the 'ancient mariner' as 'poetry', in Coleridge's own particular sense of the word. Coleridge's complicated relationship with the 'mariner' as an experimental poem lies in its origin as a joint project with Wordsworth. J.C.C. Mays traces the changes in the several versions published in Coleridge's lifetime and shows how Wordsworth's troubled reactions to the poem influenced its subsequent interpretation."--Page [4] of cover. |
