Description

Arthur Rimbaud's complete works in English for the first time, translated and edited by Wyatt Mason. This comprehensive collection brings together previously untranslated material, including award-winning early verses, fragmentary poems, and multiple manuscript versions of key poems.

Mason presents Rimbaud's writing chronologically, based on the latest manuscript evidence, allowing readers to experience the poet's rapid evolution from his teenage years to the groundbreaking early modernism of A Season in Hell. The result is a superbly clear-eyed presentation of Rimbaud's work, showcasing facets of the poet previously unknown to American readers.

The introduction provides context for the collection, addressing the state of disarray in which Rimbaud left his work and illuminating the intricacies of Mason's translation process. With this edition, a new generation of readers can discover the essential poet behind the myths and legends.
