James Bruce
5. Abyssinia
Bruce's narrative takes place almost entirely in Abyssinia, and Abyssinia is
the source of the sacred river, the Nile.
So perhaps Bruce is also the source of the idea of the Abyssinian maid
playing her dulcimer later in the Coleridge's poem. Abyssinia is roughly the
Ethiopia of today. |
