A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In spite of being regarded as a difficult and controversial term, one thing unanimously agreed upon about Romanticism is its ‎endowment with drastic and radical changes and transitions; French ‎Revolution, American Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Declaration of ‎Rights of Man are but few to name. During this period, the universe was no ‎longer a stable place for man to occupy a middle position in; man was not ‎as important as he used to be; the structure of society was being transformed into ‎mass society; poets and artists were not indifferent and began, in their turn, to react to ‎these great shifts and transitions; from among many diverse responses ‎given to these enormous phenomena, this book investigates ‎Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. Regarding ‎the poem as a ritual and mainly applying Victor Turner’s theory of ritual ‎and liminality, this book shows in what manner "The Rime" ‎represents Coleridge’s sociopolitical stance toward the holistic impact of the shifts, changes, and transitions of the Romantic era.
