The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Altemus' Edition)

Unpaginated. Folio. 1889 reissue of the edition first published in 1876 by Harper. Numerous full-page engravings by Gustave Dore. A visually striking edition of the famous nautical poem known for its (oft-misquoted) lines: "Water, water, everywhere / Nor any drop to drink." First published in 1798, the Rime is Coleridge's longest major poem, and it is credited as the beginning of British Romantic literature. The gloss included in this edition first appeared in the 1817 revised edition.
