Arthur Rimbaud

Benjamin Ivry's Outline 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 misrepresented poet. It is also an invaluable introduction to further reading on Rimbaud and his circle. This is a must have for anyone interested in the life and sexuality of an influential, ground-breaking poet.
