Description

Rimbaud: A Critical Introduction by Cecil Arthur Hackett is a comprehensive survey of the French poet's work. Professor Hackett's focus is on Rimbaud's poetry, exploring his most important early verse poems and major writings such as Illuminations and Une Saison en enfer. The book provides fresh insights into Rimbaud's life and work, balancing the 'two Rimbauds' - the visionary poet and the trader. Hackett offers shrewd criticisms while demonstrating Rimbaud's significant influence on French poetry. The volume includes English translations of key quotations, additional notes, a chronology table, and a select bibliography to aid further study. This critical introduction is intended for both students and general readers, offering valuable perspectives on one of France's most important poets.
