Abstract
In this Senior Independent
Project, I will attempt to present my point of view
concerning Rimbaud's revolt -- "The Revolt of the Outsider" -- -and
discuss two manifestations of this revolt as they
are expressed in the poetry -- "Reinvented Love" and
"Search for Innocence". To understand Rimbaud's poetry,
one must have some knowledge of his life and the meaning
and goals of his revolt. Through such an understanding,
one may more easily grasp the importance to Rimbaud of
creating a new kind of love and of regaining his innocence. The universal love he dreams of is one result of
his impatient revolt as well as his desire to bury the
tree of good and evil. Both of these goals, as you will
see, are impossible for Rimbaud without the total transformation
of society in which they must play a part.
