The Poet as Prophet, Wanderer, and Pilgrim in Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

by Robert W. Graves

Book Overview

This brief book, which includes the text of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," analyzes the narrative progression of the poem and its relationship to the Christian symbols and allusions that Coleridge uses and suggests a connection between them and a statement about the prophetic role of the poet in society. This book illustrates why the Bible as literature must be taught to students if they are to understand classic English literature.
