Originally published in 1914, this biography of the French Symbolist poet Paul Verlaine is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Thorley provides an interesting insight into the life and work of Verlaine that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the shelf of any poetry lover. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
