Opis

Bodies abound in Rimbaud's poetry in a way that is nearly unprecedented in the nineteenth-century poetic canon. This volume explores the significance of 'the body' in Rimbaud's work and how his poetry relates to revolutionary history and politics.

Recenzje

In this important contribution to Rimbaud studies, Robert St. Clair moves fluidly among cultural studies, critical theory, intertextuality, and close readings to provide a focused yet wide-ranging consideration of the historical and political valences of the representation of bodies in Rimbaud's lyric poetry ... Rimbaud's bodies are, on St. Clair's account, social and historical; the book insightfully maps the way those bodies are represented in poetic and historical space.
