Review title: At first sceptical...
Product review: At first I was sceptical of this translation. Mason sometimes veers wildly from the original French. However, the Introduction to the volume is so well-reasoned that I became convinced that this is a very fine, thoughtful piece of work. It may not be the literal French, but it is almost as close to Rimbaud's French as the English idiom can be. I also highly recommend the Treharne translations of A Season in Hell and Illuminations, although it is currently out of print.
