He never explained why. His enigma is heightened by its polarities: the preeminent poet in zealous pursuit of his art transformed into a man of science and industry, limiting his written expression to flat and stunted phrases. The thesis aimed to explain this phenomenon. The study relied heavily on biographical material and used Rimbaud’s literary works primarily in their autobiographical capacity. Abraham H. Maslow’s classifications of human motivation provided the appropriate psychological context, functioning as touchstones throughout the thesis. Analysis determined that Rimbaud’s psyche gave priority to achieving self-transcendence and poetry needed to function within the path chosen to satisfy this need. His final philosophy of materialism and objectivism proved unforgiving to the subjective ambiguities of art. In addition, he angrily blamed the artistic mindset for years of substance abuse and public scandal. 2007-05-21 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1177308010 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1177308010 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
