9782315012695: Understanding Rimbaud: My Spirit, Let us Turn in the Biting

Synopsis

An essay on not dying at 17.

Seriously, understand Rimbaud?

Like May lights?

Like the revolution?

Yes.

Because we had to understand.

Rimbauds who attack the republican order of the moment and win it in the race of real life.

This essay attempts to contextualize Rimbaud's poetic creation as a young, revolutionary poet, to extricate him from the commentaries that for at least a hundred years have made him out to be either a mystic or an original.
