Arthur Rimbaud FROM THE PUBLISHER
Rimbaud-a mythic name-his life as extraordinary as his work was influential in redirecting the course, first of French, and then of world poetry. His is, indeed, the very symbol of what we now call 'modern' literature; nearly a hundred years before the arrival of the 'mind-expanding' drugs.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Dr. Starkie, a lecturer in French literature at Oxford, has devoted many years of research to Rimbaud, revising her biography three times as new manuscript material and information about him has come to light. "This is the fullest and fairest of the half dozen books on Rimbaud in English." — Roger Shappuck
