The intensely evocative poem provided Doré with the long-awaited opportunity to convey limitless space on a gigantic scale, and he exploited the poem's fantastic range of atmosphere to the limits of its possibilities. The terrifying space of the open sea, the storms and whirlpools of an unknown ocean, the vast icy caverns of Antarctica, the hot equatorial sea swarming with monsters, all of the amazing visual elements that make Coleridge's masterpiece one of the most exciting and most memorable poems in the English language are unforgettably engraved in Doré’s plates.  \nThis edition reproduces all the plates to perfection, in their original size. The illustrations and the text of the poem appear on facing pages, so that the imaginative kinship of Doré and Coleridge is delightfully evident on every page: the illustrations capture all the moods of the poem in their full intensity, bringing the images evoked by the words into clear visual focus.  \nUnabridged and slightly rearranged republication of the 1878 American edition . Text slightly amended to conform to the authoritative 1834 edition of the poem. 38 plates and 4 additional illustrations. New introduction by Millicent Rose.

Its virtues—its subtle music, psychological depths, its sense of growing horror—are not those that ordinarily lend themselves to pictorial representation . Nor would Gustave Doré (1832-1883) seem at first sight the ideal illustrator; he lacked the poet's scholarship and missionary zeal for the new style of poetry Wordsworth and Coleridge brought to the composition of the Lyrical Ballads. He shared with Coleridge, however, an exhilarating liberation from the ordinary and everyday ; and it was because he was neither learned nor doctrinaire that he could lose himself in the poet's visions. Doré waited all his life to illustrate this poem, and when the time came he produced one of his most inspired works.  \nGustave Doré was an Alsatian, born in Strasbourg, in the border country between the Rhine and the long range of the Vosges—a region where one finds a German patois, Teutonic family names, storks nesting on the church towers, ","cbCaidiQtMzzItNE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidiQtMzzItNE","pdf",14362964,91,"English","# Introduction and editorial scope\n## Reproduced engravings and facing-page layout\n## Unabridged republication and textual basis (1834)\n## Publication details and standards\n# Gustave Doré and the poem\n## Why the poem is hard to illustrate\n## Doré’s background and artistic formation\n## Family life and early drawing","[{\"question\":\"What makes Gustave Doré’s illustrations central to this edition?\",\"answer\":\"The text emphasizes Doré’s engravings as conveying the poem’s limitless space and shifting moods, including sea terror, storms, and Antarctic imagery.
