What is the author's style in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge?

The language in the poem is antiquated, using words such as "stoppeth" and "may'st." Some words, such as "corse" are spelled differently than we would spell them today. There are also words that would not be commonly known today, such as "kirk" and "wist." Important words in the poem, such as Albatross, are capitalized. The poem follows a rhyme scheme, including the dialogue, which is also archaic. The dialogue is the only way the reader can know the characters other than the Mariner. Through the Wedding Guest's dialogue, the reader can sense his impatience with the Mariner. Then, as the Mariner tells his story, the Guest's dialogue indicates he is involved with the story. He has reactions of sympathy and fear. The Guest's dialogue tells the reader what the Mariner looks like. His aged appearance is indicated by his name, Ancient Mariner. The brief dialogue of Nightmare Life-in-Death makes the reader think bad things are about to happen. The spirit voices' dialogue lets the reader know what is happening with the Mariner and the ship. The Hermit's dialogue reports on the conditions of the ship and tells how brave he is. The words of the Pilot and Pilot's boy imply how frightening the Mariner looks and how they are affected by the situation.
