About This Item
University of Massachusetts Press, 1972. first edition. hardcover. Book VG:slight shelf wear, sparse foxing to endpapers, else clean, square, tight, unmarked./DJ G: age toning/soil, clipped.. 8vo 197pp. from front flap: "That Paul Claudel, French ambassador to the United States, solid pillar of the Republic, and devout Catholic felt a strong affinity with the infamous poet-seer Jean-Arthur Rimbaud, has been for years an acknowledged, though often puzzling, fact. In The Prince and the Genie, John MacCombie demonstrates that, rather than Rimbaud the voyou, the homosexual, the sordid, sadistic, iconoclastic enfant terrible, it was Rimbaud the mystic, the spiritual seeker, the subtle poetic technician who influenced the deeply religious Claudel and who was the younger poet's poetic model as well as spiritual mentor." #02313.
