{"product_id":"9780375757709","title":"Rimbaud Complete","description":"Enduring icon of creativity, authenticity, and rebellion, and the subject of numerous new biographies, Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most repeatedly scrutinized literary figures of the last half-century. Yet almost thirty years have elapsed without a major new translation of his writings. Remedying this state of affairs is \u003cb\u003eRimbaud Complete\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e the first and only truly complete edition of Rimbaud’s work in English, translated, edited, and introduced by Wyatt Mason.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMason draws on a century of Rimbaud scholarship to choreograph a superbly clear-eyed presentation of the poet’s works. He arranges Rimbaud’s writing chronologically, based on the latest manuscript evidence, so readers can experience the famously teenaged poet’s rapid evolution, from the lyricism of “\u003ci\u003eSensation\u003c\/i\u003e” to the groundbreaking early modernism of \u003ci\u003eA Season in Hell\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fifty pages of previously untranslated material, including award-winning early verses, all the fragmentary poems, a fascinating early draft of A Season in Hell, a school notebook, and multiple manuscript versions of the important poem “\u003ci\u003eO saisons, ô chateaux\u003c\/i\u003e,” \u003cb\u003eRimbaud Complete\u003c\/b\u003e displays facets of the poet unknown to American readers. And in his Introduction, Mason revisits the Rimbaud myth, addresses the state of disarray in which the poet left his work, and illuminates the intricacies of the translator’s art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMason has harnessed the precision and power of the poet’s rapidly changing voice: from the delicate music of a poem such as “\u003ci\u003eCrows\u003c\/i\u003e” to the mature dissonance of the \u003ci\u003eIlluminations\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003eRimbaud Complete\u003c\/b\u003e unveils this essential poet for a new generation of readers.","brand":"Arthur Rimbaud","offers":[{"title":"Random House Publishing Group |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2003-01-14","offer_id":44151963812095,"sku":"9780375757709","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_18c57685-a2d4-41a8-893c-93fdbf82979a.jpg?v=1628997502","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780375757709","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
