About This Novel

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the great masters and founders of British Romantic literature and a representative poet of the "Lakeside School". Coleridge occupies an important position in both poetry and literary criticism. Poets such as Southey, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, and Keats were all deeply influenced by him. The "Lyric Ballads" he co-authored with Wordsworth was published in 1798, marking the beginning of the Romantic era in British literary history. "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is a rare complete poem by Coleridge as a poet in his entire creative career. It is also one of the poems that later made him one of the major British poets and one of the most extraordinary poems. When writing this narrative poem, Coleridge used an astonishing amount of inner reserves and used a large number of metaphors to express a moving world that is rich in connotation, profound and magnificent. The words and images in the poem are concise, meaningful, and full of music. The structure of the entire poem is simple and full of fantasy. The Chinese translation was carefully polished by Ye Zi, an outstanding young translator in China, and followed the rhythm and rhyme pattern of the original poem as much as possible, faithfully reproducing the moving musical beauty of the original poem and the magnificent world that exists in the poem. It is also equipped with color illustrations by American illustrator Edward A. Wilson, which correspond to the rich artistic conception expressed in poetry and have high appreciation and collection value.
