Descrição
Rimbaud, born in 1854, started to write at an early age. By 17 he had written his most famous poem, ‘The Drunken Boat’. He then embarked on a turbulent homosexual relationship with the poet Verlaine, from which came some of their most original work, including A Season in Hell and Illuminations. Rimbaud rejected writing at the age of 20. After years of travelling and gun-running in Africa, he died in 1891, aged 37. Editor Biography Mark Treharne taught in the University of Warwick before becoming a freelance translator. Currently he is translating Proust’s Le Cote des Guermantes.
