Description

Arthur Rimbaud: The Cost of Genius by Neal Oxenhandler explores the life and work of one of France's most influential poets. Living during a time of great social change, Rimbaud's poetry reveals the intense personal costs he paid for his creativity. Through an in-depth analysis of 21 major poems, Oxenhandler sheds new light on Rimbaud's development as a poet between 1869 and 1879. The book also examines the poet's experiences during the Commune and the circumstances surrounding his death at the age of 37. This study offers fresh insights into Rimbaud's work, including his use of rhetorical tropes such as chiasmus in "Une Saison en enfer". With a personal appendix that explores the mystery of Rimbaud's final days, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the poet's life and work.
