Summary "Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Select Poems" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a classic collection of poetry, likely written during the late 18th to early 19th century. The volume includes Coleridge's most famous poem, "The Ancient Mariner," along with other notable pieces like "Christabel" and "Kubla Khan." The poems explore themes of nature, imagination, and human experience, often infused with elements of the supernatural and deep psychological insight. The opening of the text provides a comprehensive introduction to Coleridge's life and the context in which his works were created. It touches upon significant historical and literary influences during his youth, including the tumultuous political climate of the French Revolution and the impact of other literary figures. The narrative begins to reveal the struggles and experiences that shaped Coleridge's poetic voice, such as his imaginative tendencies and the challenges he faced throughout his education and later life. This foundational setup hints at the exploration of deeper existential themes that he would later express in his poetry, particularly in "The Ancient Mariner," which tells the tale of a sailor cursed for his actions, emphasizing the themes of guilt, redemption, and the interconnectedness of all life.
