Description: 1878 HUGE FOLIO Rime of Ancient Mariner Sam Coleridge Gustave Dore Illustrated Known as one of the English Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the most notable 19th-century English romance poets. Coleridges longest poem was The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This poem was one of the most important poems written at the end of the 18th-century, as it was known to begin the shift from the Romantic period into the Modern period of English poetry. It describes the sea voyages of a sailor who experienced dangers, adventures, and even supernatural encounters! This enormous 1878 edition was illustrated by famous French artist, Gustave Doré, known for his incredible woodcut engravings. Doré's romantic style of illustration, supremely imaginative and richly detailed, was ideally suited to literary subjects.
