Listening to Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Here is the link to the old "handouts" page on my old Romantic Age course site:

Remember that you need a password to access links to the recordings.

Also, if you prefer Youtube, you can use the following links:

Ralph Richardson reading the 1817 version (https://youtu.be/XKCn3mXAxj0)

Ian McKellan reading the 1798 version (https://youtu.be/1raSUYAr0s0)

Orson Welles reading the 1817 version as part of an experimental 1977 animated film--the only thing missing are the bell bottoms (https://youtu.be/_NluHDBzwEQ)

And of course Iron Maiden's 1984 magnum opus "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" ("She, she, Life in Death, She lets him live!") (https://youtu.be/t7zk4as9kzA)
