[As paradoxical as it may seem, I believe that Rimbaud’s and Verlaine’s connection has so far been very poorly studied in terms of its nature and deeper meaning. Until 1930, the question that agitated exegetes was that of homosexuality or Platonism; when the publication of the Dullaert dossier]…[vindicated Marcel Coulon]…[all Rimbaldians seemed to feel that, since this question had been settled once and for all, that of the relationship between the two men had been exhausted at the same time].

“So, everything is explained”, cried the Rimbaldists and Verlainians in chorus, when the proof of the two poets’ physical relationship was brought to light. “The real problem arises now,” Françoise replies in this essay.

1959 : Rebell Rimbaud

by | Updated on 09/06/2025 | Published on 04/06/1959 | 2.1 Bibliographies, German

Original title La vie passionnée d’Arthur Rimbaud, translation by Karl August Horst, München, Paul List Verlag 1959, 526 Seiten

In this book, Françoise shows not only the poet, but above all the man Rimbaud in all the ups and downs of his life, with his vices, his eruptions of character. Rimbaud’s genius shines through, with his eruptive temperament, his absolute loyalty to himself, his mockery of all bourgeois morality, and his transformation from poet to pure merchant, interested only in making money in Abyssinia as an arms dealer.
