Zusammenfassung:
Bodies abound in Rimbaud's poetry in a way that is nearly unprecedented in the 19th-century poetic canon: lazy, creative, rule-breaking bodies, queer bodies, marginalised and impoverished bodies, revolting and revolutionary, historical bodies. The question this work 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 text 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.
