2. Rimbaud: A Biography Rimbaud: A Biography
from W.W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
The best book to read on Rimbaud. Robb dispells myths, only to replace them with the even more awe-inspiring reality.

Customer Review:
This visionary novel about a loner who rescues, singled-handedly, the engine of a wrecked steamship far out at sea, is the purest expression of the heroic in man that Hugo ever permitted himself to write.

Customer Review:
The poetry of Stephane Mallarme, leader of the French Symbolist movement, has long been recognized for its beauty and difficulty, and a hundred years of subsequent critical studies have added much heat (and, sometimes, a little light) to its interpretation. Mallarme would be delighted, since his was... more info
