Poetry analysis: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, by Samuel Coleridge - Poets & Poetry - Helium - by Pablothehat

By Pablothehat 428 days ago from http://www.helium.com

This is an exploration of Coleridges's most famous work The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which was the opening poem of the first edition of the Lyrical Ballads (1798), published anonymously with William Wordsworth, as a joint volume of poetry. The construction of the Ancient Mariner is that of a narrative-based medieval ballad, conforming to the genre's traditional rules of metre, of fairly regular quatrains, with a 8 syllable tetrameter structure, creating the impression that it is a product of oral tradition rather than a written culture.
