Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was a founder of the English Romantic movement and a member of the Lake Poets. Although less well known than his contemporaries Wordsworth and Shelley, he created an enormously influential body of poetry and literary criticism. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is his masterpiece. In addition to his work as an illustrator of classics, Hungarian-born artist Willy Pogany (1882-1955) served as an art director on several Hollywood films, including Fashions of 1934 and Dames. He was also an author and teacher whose instructive manuals include Dover's Drawing Lessons.
This stunning edition reproduces Coleridge's epic poem from a highly original version created in 1910 by Willy Pog
