Though Coleridge wrote ‘The Ancient Mariner’ when he was only twenty-five, there is a real sense in which it mapped out his life to come and
he later lived through both its horrors and its moments of divine revelation and transfigured vision. This lecture will explore the extent to which
the poem was prophetic not only of Coleridge's own life but also of the major cultural and ecological crisis through which we are living.

MALCOLM GUITE is a Bye-Fellow and the Chaplain of Girton College, Cambridge and one of the clergy at the church of St. Edward King and Martyr, Cambridge. The author of Faith, Hope and Poetry (2010) and The Singing Bowl: Collected Poems (2013) among other works, he is a poet, librettist and a singer-songwriter, and is currently front man for Cambridge rockers ‘Mystery Train’.
