Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1817) - Parts 5-7
What we'll do
Tonight we are going to meet from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM to complete the reading and analysis of a poem which, at the time, produced in English literature a critical shift towards Romanticism.
· Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 – 1834): The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798, 1817 edition)
We began the reading on the 19th of July, when we analysed Parts 1-4.
Tonight we will read Parts 5-7, and briefly analyse its versification/metrical structure/prosody, and any passage needing further clarification (such as archaisms, symbolism, figures of speech, etc.).
***
We are going to read the 1817 edition of the poem, which is slightly different from the original 1798 version.
