Rare Book
An earlier version of Cameron's translation, with several differences in each of the 25 stanzas to the versions published in New Verse, June-July 1936, and his 1942 'Selected Verse Poems' of Rimbaud for the Hogarth Press; a comparison, with particular attention to the corrections in stanzas 20 & 21, suggests this is probably an intermediary version.An excellent insight into the work of the translator. Cameron was a Scot, born in India but the family returning to Edinburgh and educated there; he attended Oriel College, Oxford during the 1920s, and was subsequently associated with poets such as Robert Graves, Laura Riding, and Dylan Thomas.
late draft in pencil on ruled paper with several corrections on p. 3, the sheets a little spotted, pp. 4, folio, sometime folded, the last leaf with a short closed tear at head, with a photograph of the translator (this bearing the small pencil note of collection Jonathan Gili on the verso), good condition
