'Poetry will no longer keep in time with action; it will be ahead
of it.' Arthur Rimbaud The active and colourful lives of the poets
of nineteenth-century France are reflected in the diversity and
vibrancy of their works. At once sacred and profane, passionate and
satirical, these remarkable and innovative poems explore the
complexities of human emotion and ponder the great questions of
religion and art. They form as rich a body of work as any one age
and language has ever produced. This unique anthology includes
generous selections from the six nineteenth-century French poets
most often read in the English-speaking world today: Lamartine,
Hugo, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud, and Mallarme. Modern
translations are printed opposite the original French verse, and
the edition contains over a thousand lines of poetry never
previously translated into English.
