This is the first book-length study to read the "Ancient Mariner"
as "poetry," in Coleridge's own particular sense of the word.
Coleridge's complicated relationship with the "Mariner" as an
experimental poem lies in its origin as a joint project with
Wordsworth. J. C. C. Mays traces the changes in the several
versions published in Coleridge's lifetime and shows how
Wordsworth's troubled reaction to the poem influenced its
subsequent interpretation. This is also the first book to situate
the "Mariner" in the context of the entirety of Coleridge's prose
and verse, now available in the Bollingen Collected edition and
Notebooks; that is, not only in relation to other poems like "The
Ballad of the Dark Ladie" and "Alice du Clos," but also to ideas in
his literary criticism (especially Biographia Literaria),
philosophy, and theology. Using a combination of close reading and
broad historical considerations, reception theory, and book
history, Mays surveys the poem's continuing life in illustrated
editions and educational textbooks; its passage through the
vicissitudes of New Criticism and critical theory; and, in a final
chapter, its surprising affinities with some experimental poems of
the present time.
