An additional essay demonstrates how these various approaches can be combined. The text and essays are complemented by introductions (biographical and critical, with bibliographies) and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very Nice.This is a great version of this classic poem at a reasonable price. Very lovely illustrations and just the right amount of annotation of antiquated phrases. A great book for adults who have not read the story, or to get children interested in poetry. Relic113 Rating: - Cheap and well doneDover puts out quite the book. This edition being in the $5 range is no exception. It's the size of a large coloring book with the writing on the left and the pictures on the right.

The drawings by Gustave Dore are beautiful and perfectly complememnt the text. A book that you can enjoy many times over whenever the mood strikes you. Rating:  - Marginal Notes"It's the structure of the reader's experience rather than any structures available on the page that should be the object of description" , says Stanley Fish in his essay. In parallel with Fish's this claim, Coleridge presents his poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", with marginal notes, each of which actually reifies the perspective of an "intended reader, the reader whose education, opinions, concerns make him capable of having the experience the author wished to provide". Coleridge gives a reading ...

There are no woodcuts or any other pictures, there are no silver pages, there is no poem at all! This book is only modern critical interpretations - nothing more. Buy it if you are a scholar - and refer to a separate copy of the poem. I should have known from the edition but the editorial reviews were from a different book that was an edition of the actual poem.
