PAUL VERLAINE. By Harold Nicolson.
It is not easy to write a critical biography of Verlaine without either patronage or pomposity. Mr. Nicolson succeeds because he treats his subject whimsically but with respect. He does not seek to excuse or to minimise the failings of Verlaine as a man, nor does he make extravagant claims of poetical genius, but he tells with genial sympathy a rather pitiful life story, and by skilful quotation enables the reader to form his own judgment of Verlaine’s work. Contents:—Youth; Marriage; Arthur Rimbaud; “Sagesse”; Middle Age; The Last Phase; Verlaine’s Literary Position.
