THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER

This stunning edition reproduces Coleridge's epic poem from a highly original version created in 1910 by Willy Pogány. The Hungarian-born artist's interpretation of the strange and gripping tale told by the sole survivor of a cursed voyage constitutes a wondrously dramatic marriage of words and images. Pogány's vision offers the print equivalent of a medieval manuscript rich in sumptuously hand-lettered text decorative borders illuminated scripts and numerous marginal illustrations as well as 20 full-page color plates. A handy plain text version of the poem can be downloaded for free from the Dover website after purchase.
