First edition, first printing. Hardback in dustwrapper. 22 × 14.5cm, 164pp. English and French text.
Mark Treharne's new translations of Rimbaud's two great visionary poems, among the most startling and influential poetry of the modern age. "A Season in Hell" (1873) reviews his visionary claims for poetry, his ideal of the poet as seer, through the systematic disordering of the senses, of poetry as part of life and of action. "Illuminations" (1873), an extended prose poem, is both a series of visual images, and of mood pictures, with no one voice or identity; the poet in a series of shifting roles explores the pluralistic notions of the self.
Condition
Very good condition, but with a little fading to the wrapper's spine and a little tanning to the page edges.
