In this interpretative analysis of the poetry of Rimbaud, Robert
Greer Cohn first introduces the reader to the work of Rimbaud and
outlines the poet's precocious, meteoric career. He then integrates
the various aspects of the poetry into a coherent view, one which
avoids a tendentious or reductive approach and does not fit some of
the poems into a system and omit the rest. The early poems are
given their due importance, and the difficult Illuminations are at
last made accessible. This will be the standard book on the
subject, one which will long be read and consulted by teachers and
students of Rimbaud's poetry. It provides analyses of key passages
of the poems, with detailed clarifications of difficult lines and
even words. The author reaches many sound fresh conclusions, often
by confronting resistant passages with similar ones from other
works or with the work of other poets close to him in spirit. This
is an intelligent and serious book which faces the direct beauty of
the text and tries with honesty to explain all the difficulties
while further enhancing the reader's sense of mystery. Originally
published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
