According to William Wordsworth, the poem ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" was conceived while he and Coleridge were walking together in the Quantock Hills of Somerset in November 1797. The two were considering the fate of Cain, condemned to wander the earth for killing his brother Abel, for a contemplated joint poetic work. The discussion turned to a book that Wordsworth was reading, Shelvocke's ""A Voyage Round the"
"Lyrical Ballads Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems is a collection of poems by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, first published in 1798 and generally considered to have marked the beginning of the English Romantic movement in literature. The immediate effect on critics was modest, but it became and remains a landmark, changing the course of English literature and poetry. Most of the poems in the 1798 edition were written by Wordsworth, with Coleridge contributing only four poems to the collection, including one of his most famous works, ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"". A second edition was"
"Simon Hatley Simon Hatley (27 March 1685after 1723) was an English sailor involved in two hazardous privateering voyages to the South Pacific Ocean. On the second voyage, with his ship beset by storms south of Cape Horn, Hatley shot an albatross, an incident immortalised by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his poem, ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."" Born in 1685 in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Hatley went to sea in 1708 as part of Woodes Rogers's expedition against the Spanish. Although Rogers circumnavigated the world, Hatley was captured on the coast of present-day Ecuador and imprisoned in Lima, where he was tortured"

In the field of literary criticism, Grovier has written widely on the British Romantic poets, especially William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and John Keats. In a review of an edition of William Godwin's early letters, published in the ""TLS"" in March 2012, Grovier explored connections in Coleridge's poem ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" (1797–98) with the life and pantheist thought of Walking Stewart, and proposed that Stewart was likely the real-life prototype for Coleridge's iconic wanderer. His narrative history of London's notorious Newgate"
"had rendered it much more brackish. The historical geographer Carville Earle, among others, holds to this view. The temptation to drink seawater was greatest for sailors who had expended their supply of fresh water, and were unable to capture enough rainwater for drinking. This frustration was described famously by a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" (1798): Although humans cannot survive on seawater alone—and, indeed, will sicken quickly if they try—some people have claimed that up to two cups a day, mixed with fresh water in a 2:3 ratio, produces no ill effect."

Herman Melville's 1851 novel ""Moby-Dick"" was described by the poet John Masefield as speaking ""the whole secret of the sea"". A large seabird, the albatross, played a central part in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's influential 1798 poem ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"", which in turn gave rise to the usage of albatross as metaphor for a burden.

"poetic effects in understanding a poem's meaning. Widdowson points out that in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" (1798), the mystery of the Mariner's abrupt appearance is sustained by an idiosyncratic use of tense. (Widdowson. 1992, 40) For instance, the Mariner 'holds' the wedding-guest with his 'skinny hand' in the present tense, but releases it in the past tense ('...his hands dropt he.'); only to hold him again, this time with his 'glittering eye', in the present (Widdowson. 1992, 41).

Coleridge also made considerable use of Gothic elements in his commercially successful play ""Remorse"". Mary Shelley, who knew Coleridge well, mentions ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" twice directly in ""Frankenstein"", and some of the descriptions in the novel echo it indirectly. Although William Godwin, her father, disagreed with Coleridge on some important issues, he respected his opinions and Coleridge often visited the Godwins.

"an increasing interest in the ballad form among social elites and intellectuals, particularly in the Romantic movement from the later 18th century. Respected literary figures Robert Burns and Walter Scott in Scotland collected and wrote their own ballads. Similarly in England William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge produced a collection of ""Lyrical Ballads"" in 1798 that included Coleridge's ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"". Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats were attracted to the simple and natural style of these folk ballads and tried to imitate it. At the same time in Germany Goethe cooperated with Schiller on a series of ballads,"

"are also those used in Coleridge's ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"". Much of the poem could have been influenced by Coleridge's opium dream or, as his friend and fellow poet Robert Southey joked, ""Coleridge had dreamed he had written a poem in a dream"". If Coleridge's dream did originate ideas within the poem, then the dreams are related to those experienced by contemporary opium eaters and writers, Thomas de Quincey and Charles Pierre Baudelaire. It is possible that the dream affected Coleridge's later mood and caused him to enter into a depression, influencing the ideas in his writing that"

He is descended from those associated with Shelvock Manor in Shropshire and families bearing the name of Shelvock. Historical records show that the spelling variant of Shelvoke is first recorded in 1722 at Eccleshall in Staffordshire, NW of Stafford, before recurring in the 19th-century industrialised West Midlands towns of Wolverhampton and Willenhall, probable ancestors of Harry.

"has been deeply influential in the field of literary criticism. This influence can be seen in such critics as A. O. Lovejoy and I. A. Richards. Coleridge is probably best known for his long poems, ""The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"" and ""Christabel"". Even those who have never read the ""Rime"" have come under its influence: its words have given the English language the metaphor of an albatross around one's neck, the quotation of ""water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink"" (almost always rendered as ""but not a drop to drink""), and the phrase ""a sadder and a wiser"

Wordsworth soon found their poetic styles incompatible and withdrew from the project, but Coleridge continued.

"Marinism Marinism (Italian: marinismo, or secentismo, ""17th century"") is the name now given to an ornate, witty style of poetry and verse drama written in imitation of Giambattista Marino (1569–1625), following in particular ""La Lira"" and ""L'Adone"". The critic James V. Mirollo, the author of the first monograph in English on the subject, distinguished the terms as follows: The following discussion is based on Mirollo's analysis. The Marinist poet never hesitated to embark on a long string of comparisons with nature, most of them couched as metaphor rather than simile because this allowed for more striking statements.
