The standard work on Rimbaud returns to print In this proven study
on Arthur Rimbaud, the world's leading authority on Stephane
Mallarme provides a guide to the understanding and appreciation of
Rimbaud's entire poetic oeuvre. Robert Greer Cohn begins with an
outline of the poet's life, focusing particularly on a childhood
and adolescence that produced astoundingly original and frequently
exquisite works, the whole body of poetry by a writer who ended his
literary creation in his twentieth year. Cohn's analysis, combined
with a substantial introduction, weaves together the known
biographical facts with major clues from the poems to present a
coherent portrait of the inner and outwardly imaged world of the
young poet. Cohn draws on nondoctrinaire and open-minded approaches
of modern depth psychology and philosophy and, most particularly,
on the dazzlingly integral cosmic vision of Mallarme. The resulting
unified view affords insights into the meaning of many difficult
passages, especially in the most hermetic and resistant of the
Illuminations. Cohn also reveals the early poems, which heretofore
received little attention, to be rich in poetic humanity. He
suggests that the seeds of Rimbaud's later development lie in these
early poems, which provide convincing paths into subsequent
complexities.
