Although he stopped writing at the age of nineteen, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) possessed the most revolutionary talent of the past hundred years, and his poetry and prose have increasingly influenced the major writers of our century. To his masterpiece A Season in Hell is here added Rimbaud's longest and possibly greatest single poem The Drunken Boat , with the original French en face . The reputation of A Season in Hell, which is a poetic record of a man's examination of his own depths, has steadily increased over the years. Upon the first publication of Mrs. Varese's translation by New Directions, the Saturday Review wrote: One may at last suggest that the translation of A Season in Hell has reached a conclusive point... Concerning the twenty-five-stanza The Drunken Boat , Dr. Enid Starkie of Oxford University has written: (It is) an anthology of separate lines of astonishing evocative magic which linger in the mind like isolated jewels. Rimbaud's life was so extraordinary that it has taken on the quality of a myth. A biographical chronology is included in this book.
