***Rimbaud - Graham Robb (2000)
"Still another biography of the poet who stopped writing before he was
20! Over a century after his death, the procession of biographers,
translators, critics and hagiographers continues. It would seem that no
definitive identification can be made (Rimbaud the symbolist, the
surrealist, the Bolshevik, Rimbaud the bourgeois, the crook, the
pervert, Rimbaud the prophet, the superman, the mystic, Rimbaud the
Catholic, the cabalist, the atheist, etc.); the latest 'proved' avatar
is forever recycled as evidence -- faulty or secure -- on which to base
the next.... What Roland Barthes would call the ''figure'' of Rimbaud is the ghost at
the banquet of literature: his radical rejection of poetry (not of
writing, as Graham Robb makes clear: correspondence from Rimbaud's last
15 years constitutes a significant share of his output) has been
appropriated by literary history as his most enduringly poetic act. ..."

Fertile Destabilization: On translating Rimbaud’s Illuminations By John Ashbery
"What are the Illuminations? Originally an untitled, unpaginated bunch of manuscript pages that Arthur Rimbaud handed to his former lover Paul Verlaine on the occasion of their last meeting, in Stuttgart in 1875. Verlaine had recently been released from a term in a Belgian prison for wounding the younger poet with a pistol in Brussels two years earlier. Rimbaud wanted his assassin manqué to deliver the pages to a friend, Germain Nouveau, who (he thought) would arrange for their publication. This casual attitude toward what would turn out to be one of the masterpieces of world literature is puzzling, even in someone as unpredictable as its author. Was it just a question of not wanting to splurge on stamps? (Verlaine would later complain in a letter that the package cost him '2 francs 75 in postage!!!') More likely it was because Rimbaud had decided already to abandon poetry for what would turn out to be a mercantile career in Africa, trafficking in a dizzying variety of commodities (though not, apparently, slaves, as some have thought). ..."
