柯勒律治是英国浪漫主义诗人的杰出代表之一，与华兹华斯、骚塞并称“湖畔诗人”。其诗作展现了英国浪漫主义瑰丽、神秘的一面，开纯诗、抽象诗之先河。他在文学理论上的重大建树，尤其对想象力的精辟论述使他前抗古典主义，后启现代主义，成为当时几乎全部英国浪漫主义诗人——从布莱克到济慈的代言人。

本书The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Other Poems《古舟子咏和其它诗歌》收录了柯勒律治经典的诗歌，其中以名篇Rime of the Ancient Mariner《古舟子咏》为代表。这些诗歌有的是诗人对过往人生的回忆，有的表达他对死亡与爱情的沉思，但都充分体现了柯勒律治的诗歌才华，受到读者深深的喜爱。

‘Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung’
When an albatross leads a stricken ship out of treacherous ice, a hapless mariner shoots the bird, arousing the wrath of spirits who pursue the ship. Haunted by Death, the crew begin to perish one by one, until only the cursed mariner remains to confront his guilt. As penance for his actions he is condemned to wander the earth, telling his tale to those he meets as a warning.
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s longest major poem and marks the beginning of the romantic movement in British literature. This edition also includes many of Coleridge’s other works, including Kubla Khan, Christabel and a selection of the ‘conversation’ poems.

Review
‘The greatest sea poem in the language’ --Jonathan Raban

‘The Poem contains many delicate touches of passion…a great number of the stanzas present beautiful images, and are expressed with unusual felicity of language’ --William Wordsworth

‘Astonishingly, the poem's spell doesn't seem to weaken over the years…The scenery remains thrillingly hellish, while laced with photographically realistic meteorological effects, and the narrative drive is irresistible’ --Guardian
塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治（Samuel Taylor Coleridge，1772—1834），英国诗人、文评家，英国浪漫主义文学巨匠和奠基人之一，“湖畔派”诗人代表。柯勒律治在诗歌和文评方面都占有重要地位，骚塞、华兹华斯、拜伦、雪莱、济慈等诗人均深受他的影响。他与华兹华斯合著的《抒情歌谣集》出版于1798年，标志着英国文学史上浪漫主义时代的开端。他的《文学传记》以博大精深见称，书中的论点成为“新批评派”的理论源泉。

Samuel Taylor Coleridge(1772 - 1834) was one of the first figures of the Romantic movement, and a poet, philosopher and critic. His close friendship with Dorothy and William Wordsworth, whom he met in 1797, led to the publication of the "Lyrical Ballads", which marked a conscious break with poetic tradition and includes one of Coleridge's most famous poems, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

PART I

It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me?

The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin;
The guests are met, the feast is set:
May'st hear the merry din.'

He holds him with his skinny hand,
'There was a ship,' quoth he.
'Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!'
Eftsoons his hand dropt he.

He holds him with his glittering eye--
The Wedding-Guest stood still,
And listens like a three years' child:
The Mariner hath his will.

The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone:
He cannot choose but hear;
And thus spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.

'The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.

The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he!
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.

Higher and higher every day,
Till over the mast at noon--'
The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast,
For he heard the loud bassoon.

The bride hath paced into the hall,
Red as a rose is she;
Nodding their heads before her goes
The merry minstrelsy.

The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast,
Yet he cannot choose but hear;
And thus spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.
