Synopsis

Gustave Doré’s engravings for The Rime of the Ancient Mariner are presented here in a carefully reproduced edition, with all plates shown at their original size. The poem’s text and the illustrations are arranged on facing pages, allowing Doré’s visual interpretation to sit in direct conversation with Coleridge’s language.

This unabridged republication is based on the 1878 American edition, with the text slightly amended to align with the authoritative 1834 version of the poem. A focused choice for readers interested in poetry and for those who value classic illustration in book form.
