About This Item
(London: Atlantic Books, 2008) 9781843549710. 8vo; original dark green boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (viii) + 192. Very good condition. "Poet and prodigy Arthur Rimbaud led a life that was startlingly short, yet dramatically eventful and accomplished. His long poem Une saison en enfer and his collection Illuminations are central to the modern canon. Having sworn off writing at the age of twenty-one, Rimbaud drifted around the world from scheme to scheme, ultimately dying from an infection contracted while gun-running in Africa. He was thirty-seven." .
