Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our eighty-third episode, we continue a weekly, month-long miniseries on short narrative poems. Today we cover Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1798 Gothic-Romantic-philosophical epic sea yarn, 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. We get amused by a bassoon and confused by the gloss, just as Coleridge intended. Probably.
