Excerpt from The Ancient Mariner This edition of The Ancient Mariner aims to include the information and critical comment necessary to an intelligent appreciation of the poem. As a help to that end, it has been thought desirable to print the original version (1798), since the differences between that and the final version afford an especially valuable opportunity for training in discrimination and taste. The interest which attaches to the personal history of Coleridge has, unfortunately, little in common with the interest which attaches to The Ancient Mariner. It has, therefore, seemed proper to include in this volume only a short biographical sketch. Students who may be impelled by a laudable curiosity to seek a more detailed knowledge of the poet's life are referred to the biographies by Hall Caine, Dr. Alois Brandl (translated into English by Lady Eastlake), and J. Dykes Campbell. Coleridge's own Biographia Literaria, in spite of its fragmentary character, is essential to a knowledge of his intellectual and moral development. Methods of teaching The Ancient Mariner must differ widely with different teachers and pupils. All efforts, however, should be subordinated to the: aim of helping students to read with their imaginations - to see what Coleridge describes.

Excerpt from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner As The Ancient Mariner, because Of the difficulties it presents, may be taken up to advantage toward the end of the pupil's preparation of the English reading required for admission to college, this edition Of the poem is designed especially for the use of more advanced students. Assum ing on the part of the pupil some knowledge of many of the texts assigned, the Introduction is intended, not only to prepare the student to understand the poem itself, but also to point the way to a comprehensive study of literature in its larger significance; and it attempts, accordingly, by the use Of the historical method, to set The Ancient Mariner in its right relations with reference both to Coleridge and to its place in English literature. By thus presenting the poem in its wider bearings, the book aims to suggest certain fundamental principles Of literary investigation, and, by bringing the student to a true conception of what literature is, to stimulate an interest in further study.
