FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1989,
THIS HAS BEEN MY BEST SELLING COMIC BOOK, ATTRACTING ATTENTION FROM
TEACHERS AND ACADEMICS AS WELL AS THE USUAL COMICS-READING SLOBS. THE
ARTWORK HAS BEEN EXHIBITED AT NETHER STOWEY, SOMERSET, WHERE COLERIDGE
LIVED (AND WHERE I WAS PRIVILEDGED TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN HIS COTTAGE),
AND IN THE WORDSWORTH MUSEUM AT DOVE COTTAGE, GRASMERE, CUMBRIA, HOME
OF THE WORDSWORTH TRUST. THE TRUST IS IN NEGOTIATION TO BUY THE ORIGINAL
ARTWORK FOR THEIR ARCHIVE.
STEVEN E. JONES, PROFESSOR
OF ENGLISH AT LOYOLA UNVERSITY IN CHICAGO, HAS RECENTLY PUBLISHED "SATIRE
AND ROMANTICISM"
(ST. MARTINS PRESS, 2000) A STUDY OF THE INTERWEAVING OF SATIRE AND
ROMANTIC POETRY IN THE ROMANTIC PERIOD OF ENGLISH LITERATURE. A VERSION
OF THE CHAPTER DEALING WITH MY ANCIENT MARINER CAN BE ACCESSED ON THE
"ROMANTICISM ON THE NET" WEBSITE, (SEE LINKS PAGE).
I FOUND IT FASCINATING!
