Description

Instead of the cross, the Albatross About my neck used to be hung. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s famous poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is ceaselessly thought to be having heralded the start of the Romantic era in British literature. The poem narrates the tale of a sailor who has returned home from a long voyage having suffered great loss, yet survived. In this Studies in Theology and the Arts volume, poet and theologian Malcolm Guite leads readers on a journey with Coleridge, whose own life paralleled the experience of the mariner. In this theological voyage, Guite draws out the continuing relevance of this work and the power of poetry to keep in touch the truths of humanity’s fallenness, our need for grace, and the opportunity of redemption.
