Listen to Christie Nowak read Coleridge's "Christabel." Then re-read the text yourself, and annotate your copy of the text in preparation for class discussion. DUE: Monday, December 9
Extra Credit Opportunity
Receive an automatic 100% on a quiz or participation grade with the submission of your ticket stub and one-page, MLA-formatted reflection.

Date Price Categories (RMB) For more details visit http://en.damai.cn/event/tickets_56136/ Read these short excerpts from Coleridge's Biographia Literaria. Then read and annotate "Kubla Khan," which Coleridge calls a fragment. Listen to the poem several times before you read it yourself and begin annotating. Here, 19 different volunteers read the poem for LibriVox.
While Coleridge provides an elaborate backstory for the creation of this fragmentary poem, consider how the backstory itself may be part of the art. Annotate "Kubla Khan" accordingly, making connections to Biographia Literaria where you can.
Here is Kristin LeMoine reading from the 1834 publication of Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner for LibriVox.
Listen to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner read by M.L. Cohen for LibriVox (29:50). Cohen reads from the original 1798 publication of The Rime. As you listen, follow along in the attached 1834 publication. Mark the portions of the text that Coleridge changed. Then go back and read the marginal glosses which Coleridge added to the 1834 publication.
Read through the attached collections at least once before Monday. Be sure to have a copy of these poems with you in class on Monday.
NOTE: Pay particularly close attention to Blake's use of contrasting images.
