Acerca de este libro electrónico
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner recounts the experiences of a sailor who has returned from a long sea voyage. The mariner stops a man who is on his way to a wedding ceremony and begins to narrate a story. The wedding-guest's reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the mariner's story progresses, as can be seen in the language style: Coleridge uses narrative techniques such as personification and repetition to create a sense of danger, the supernatural, or serenity, depending on the mood in different parts of the poem.
Acerca del autor
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was a towering figure of the Romantic era, whose life and works continue to captivate modern readers. Born in Ottery St Mary, England, Coleridge was a prodigious talent from a young age, displaying an early affinity for poetry and philosophy. His collaboration with William Wordsworth on "Lyrical Ballads" in 1798 marked a revolutionary moment in English literature, heralding the Romantic movement with its emphasis on emotion, nature, and the sublime.Coleridge's personal life was as tumultuous as his literary career. He struggled with opium addiction, which he initially took for medical reasons, and this dependency profoundly influenced his work and relationships. His marriage to Sarah Fricker was fraught with difficulties, and his unrequited love for Sara Hutchinson added layers of complexity to his emotional world.A visionary thinker, Coleridge delved into German philosophy, bringing ideas from Kant and Schelling to an English audience. His lectures on Shakespeare and Milton were groundbreaking, offering deep insights that shaped literary criticism. Despite his struggles, Coleridge's intellectual curiosity and innovative spirit left an indelible mark on contemporaries like Wordsworth and later writers such as Emerson and Poe.Controversially, Coleridge's political views evolved from radicalism to conservatism, reflecting the turbulent times of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. His profound explorations of imagination, creativity, and the human psyche continue to resonate, making him a figure of enduring fascination and relevance.
