![]() ![]() Includes bibliographical references (page 127) and index In this dual portrait, Fowlie gives us a glimpse of the affinities and resemblances between European literary traditions and American rock music and youth culture in the late twentieth century. ![]() The result is an engaging account of the connections between an exceptional French symbolist who gave up writing poetry at the age of twenty, died young, and whose poems are still avidly read to this day, and an American rock musician whose brief career ignited an entire generation and has continued to fascinate millions around the world in the twenty years since his death in Paris. In their twinned stories he discovers an uncanny symmetry, a pattern far richer than the simple truth that both led lives full of adventure and both made poetry of their thirst for the liberation of the self. In "Rimbaud and Jim Morrison" Fowlie, a master of the form of the memoir, reconstructs the lives of the two youthful poets from a personal perspective. ![]() Publication date 1994 Topics Morrison, Jim, 1943-1971 - Knowledge - Literature, Rimbaud, Arthur, 1854-1891 - Influence, Rimbaud, Arthur - Influence, Rimbaud, Arthur - Criticism and interpretation, Morrison, Jim, 1943-1971 - Et la Littérature, Morrison, Jim, 1943-1971 - Et Rimbaud, Morrison, Jim, 1943-1971, Rimbaud, Arthur, 1854-1891, Rimbaud, Arthur, (1854-1891) - Influence, Morrison, Jim, (1943-1971), Morrison, Jim, Rimbaud, Arthur, Rock music - United States - History and criticism, Songs, English - United States - History and criticism, American poetry - French influences, Dissenters in literature, Rock (Musique) - États-Unis - Histoire et critique, Dissidents dans la littérature, Chansons anglaises - États-Unis - Histoire et critique, Poésie américaine - Influence française, 18.06 Anglo-American literature, 18.25 French literature, 17.94 influences and relations (comparative literature), Literature, Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.), Rock music, Songs, English, Verzet, Gedichten, Révolte - Dans la littérature, United States Publisher Durham : Duke University Press Collection inlibrary printdisabled internetarchivebooks Digitizing sponsor Kahle/Austin Foundation Contributor Internet Archive Language English ![]()
