Michaelides, 'Stefan Zweig's copy of Rimbaud, Une Saison en Enfer (1873)', The British Library Journal, 14.2 (1988), 199-203.Ĭouverture rigide. ![]() Printed in Brussels by the Alliance Typographique, Une Saison en Enfer was the only one of his works to be published by Rimbaud himself that is, the nineteen-year-old poet persuaded his mother to pay for it. 'A seize ans,' Verlaine writes, 'il avait écrit les plus beaux vers du monde.' The autobiographical Une Saison en Enfer, arguably Rimbaud's most famous collection, was written 'between April and August 1873, the turbulent period which saw his disastrous last stay in London with Verlaine, and their final separation after the incident in Brussels in which Verlaine shot and wounded Rimbaud' (Michaelides, 199). Verlaine explains that the poems were written between 18, while travelling around Europe the title 'Illuminations', used by Rimbaud as the working title, is English and refers to coloured plates. ![]() The first work here, Les Illuminations is a collection of experimental poems in verse and prose with a preface by Paul Verlaine, taken from the first edition of 1886.

The definitive translation of the one of the brightest geniuses of French poetry. While he was working on them he spoke of his interest in hallucinations-"des vertiges, des silences, des nuits." These perceptions were caught by the poet in a beam of pellucid, and strangely active language which still lights up-now here, now there-unexplored aspects of experience and thought. He is best known for?A Season in Hell, but his other prose poems are no less remarkable. Yet he had already produced some of the finest examples of French verse. Fired in childhood with an ambition to write, he gave up poetry before he was twenty-one. Rimbaud was indeed the most astonishing of French geniuses. This edition also contains two other series of prose poems, which include two poems only recently discovered in France, together with an introduction in which Miss Var?se discusses the complicated ins and outs of Rimbaldien scholarship and the special qualities of Rimbaud's writing. Since then she has revised her work and has included two poems which in the interim have been reclassified as part of?Illuminations. Var?se first published her versions of Rimbaud's?Illuminations?in 1946. They are offered here both in their original texts and in superb English translations by Louise Var?se. The prose poems of the great French Symbolist, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), have acquired enormous prestige among readers everywhere and have been a revolutionary influence on poetry in the twentieth century.
