Abstract taken from back of the book.
Benjamin Ivry's is the first study of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud's sexuality in relation to his life, work, and posterity. Focusing on Rimbaud's great poetry, written before the age of twenty, and his notorious and sensational affair with the poet Paul Verlaine, this book is a frank and helpful introduction to an often misunderstood and misinterpreted poet. It is also an invaluable introduction to further reading on Rimbaud and his circle.
