The Rime of the Ancient Mariner • : A timeless supernatural tale of the sea, this is the longest major poem by the English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and was written between 1797–98 and published in 1798. It is often considered a signal shift to modern poetry and the beginning of British Romantic literature Kubla Khan: Or, A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment, • is a pioneering, psychedelic-Romantic tour de force, which was completed in 1797 and published in 1816. According to Coleridge's preface to Kubla Khan, the poem was composed one night following an opium-influenced dream, after reading a work describing Xanadu, the summer palace of the Mongol ruler Kublai Khan. He left the poem unpublished until 1816 when, at the prompting of Lord Byron, it was published.
