"The hallucinatory prose-poems of Arthur Rimbaud rank among the glories of 19th-century French literature." -- New York Times

One of the world's most influential poets, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, almost all of which he produced before the age of twenty. Paul Schmidt's acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell." Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"--Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels--that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

About Arthur Rimbaud

Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891) wrote all of his poetry before he was twenty-one and then stopped. In roughly five years he produced Une saison en enfer and the prose poems of Illuminations. He was born at Charleville in north-eastern France. Having abandoned literature entirely, he spent his last years trading in Aden and Abyssinia; Illuminations was published in 1886 by Paul Verlaine while Rimbaud was in Africa, and he had no hand in it. He returned to France in 1891 with a tumour in his knee, had the leg amputated, and died in a Marseille hospital at thirty-seven. He is buried at Charleville.
