Features: Extreme personality led to Verlaine's tragic life: as a bisexual, his first wife and genius poet Rimbaud ultimately abandoned him; he was sentenced to prison for shooting Rimbaud; and he was imprisoned again for beating and threatening his mother. His violent tendencies stemmed from inner despair, and this despair gave rise to the sensitive and precious singing in his life. This book guides us through Verlaine's painful struggles, offering an in-depth analysis of his dual personality, thoughts, and emotions. Verlaine's creative work is closely related to poetic schools such as the Parnassian movement. The book's records of these poetic schools hold significant historical value.
