This edition brings together his extraordinary poetry and more than a hundred of his letters, most of them written after he had abandoned literature. A master of French verse forms, the young Rimbaud set out to transform his art, and language itself, by a systematic disordering of all the senses, often with the aid of alcohol and drugs. The result is a highly innovative, modern body of work, obscene and lyrical by turnsa rigorous journey to extremes.Jeremy Harding and John Sturrocks new translation includes Rimbauds greatest verse, as well as his record of youthful torment, A Season in Hell(1873), and letters that unveil the man who turned his back on poetry. |
