The publication of the Lyrical Ballads in Bristol in 1798 launched the Romantic poetry movement. Richard Holmes looks at the life and work of Coleridge at this critical moment, and explores the varied interpretations of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and its powerful emergence as a modern eco-fable.
