Rimbaud: A Reconstruction and a FarewellA Review of the Three-Volume Edition of The Poetry of Rimbaud

 

Ni Zhijuan, Liu Xinyi

 

Abstract: Professor Robert Greer Cohn (1922–) authored the three-volume work The Poetry of Rimbaud. Centering on the microscopic details embodied in Rimbaud’s poetic texts, this monograph conducts textual explication, associative imagination and derivative interpretation, and delivers a panoramic overview of the gifted poet’s poetic creation and life trajectory. As argued by Professor Cohn, Rimbaud established poetry as the fundamental domain of language, sustained the vitality and self-renewal capacity of linguistic expressions, and perpetually revitalized language eroded and depleted by daily triviality.

Key words: Rimbaud; Reconstruction; Innovator
