Building on the theories of Aristotle, Jacques Lacan, and Harold Bloom, Adrianna M. Paliyenko re-examines the assumed influence of Arthur Rimbaud on Paul Claudel. The book challenges earlier interpretations that rely on superficial similarities, instead tracing how Claudel actively reworked and “corrected” Rimbaud’s ideas. Through this, it develops a broader framework for understanding how writers assert originality by revising and transforming the work of their predecessors.
