Customer Reviews

A delightful and affordable edition of the masterpiece
This 75 page edition is an efficient and likeable publication.
The book includes the famous Rime of the Ancient Mariner (with side notes) and Kubla Khan as well as 20 or so others.
The layout and print font are easy to read and the absence of an introduction spares the reader from facing mumbled opinions of the elite university members who usually appear in these books.
Affordable reading from Dover. Thoroughly recommended, especially for those who have never read Coleridge and don't want to spend large amounts of money on something they may not like.
Once again, well done Dover Publications.

Great poetry, great price.
This is one of my favourite poems and this book reproduces it for you at a great price. This is one of the best epic story poems out there and well worth a read, even if you've not read much poetry before. This book is a great format and well worth the small outlay to get a classic piece of poetry.

Nightmare Voyage
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is an incredible poem. Haunting and thrilling, it captivated the reader with its superlative descriptive writing. Coleridge describes the endless sea from the vastness of icy Antartica to the smooth tropical seas. The mariner has visions of sea monsters and Death, who plays a dice game in which Death wins the lives of his ship's crew. The mariner recounts a nightmare voyage to the South Pole from which he alone survives to tell the tale.
