This is an essay on the famous poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1898), a romantic work that poetically incorporates the first environmental program that literature has ever offered. Therefore, with the help of Coleridge’s spiritual world and his meta-fictional narratives, this research aims at penetrating the core of crimes against the environment. Today, increasing legal complexity entwines the environment in a dense normative network that may prevent a complete understanding of the global losses experienced in cases of eco-victimization and the abuses that are at play at such times. Under these circumstances, a review of Coleridge’s impressive masterpiece is proposed, applying an emerging narrative method within the framework of Narrative Victimology, a discipline that deals with the cultural account of victimization and its consequences.Downloads
