Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works Zusammenfassung

Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, most of which he produced before the age of eighteen. This book brings together his poetry, prose, and letters, including The Drunken Boat, The Orphans' New Year, After the Flood, and A Season in Hell, considered by many to be his. Complete Works is divided into eight 'seasons' - Childhood, The Open Road, War, The Tormented Heart, The Visionary, The Damned Soul, A Few Belated Cowardices, and The Man with the Wind at His Heels - that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by translator and editor Paul Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works Bewertungen

Rimbaud was pure dynamite . . . he restored literature to life. -- Henry Miller
The best edition in English -- Montreal Gazette
Visionary . . . Wicked . . . A Genius. -- The New Yorker
The hallucinatory prose-poems of Arthur Rimbaud rank among the glories of 19th-century French literature. -- New York Times
Paul Schmidt has wavered--no, has hovered--between solicitude and critique, and the result of such suspension is his beautiful, daring, careful work . . . serves us the Rimbaud that matters in its fine mesh. -- Richard Howard, Pulitzer Prize-winner poet and translator; professor, Columbia University
This collection is interesting for the light it casts on the background to the writing of 'A Season in Hell' and the poems later referred to (by Paul Verlaine) as 'The Illuminations'. As well as the poems themselves, Schmidt includes transcriptions of letters (to Verlaine and others) and biographical details from the life of this most nihilistic genius. -- The Guardian
A mystic in the wild state. -- Paul Claudel
