The question that this book seeks to answer is: What does this corporeal density mean for reading Rimbaud? What kind of sense are we to make of this omnipresence of the body in the Rimbaldian corpus, from first to last-from the earliest poems in verse celebrating the sheer, simple delight of running away from wherever one is and stretching one's legs out under a table, to the ultimate flight away from poetry itself? In response, this book argues that the body appears-often literally-as a kind of gap, breach, or aperture through which Rimbaud's poems enter into contact with history and a larger body of other texts. Simply put, the body is privileged 'lyrical material' for Rimbaud: a figure for human beings in their exposed, finite creatureliness and in their unpredictable agency and interconnectedness. Its presence in the early work allows us not only to contemplate what a strange, sensuous thing it is to be embodied, to be both singular and part of a collective, it also allows the poet to diagnose, and the reader to perceive, a set of seemingly intractable, 'real' socio-economic, political, and symbolic problems. 600 10 $a Rimbaud, Arthur, $d 1854-1891 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120025214.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402014327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6483732626B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
