[edit] Rimbaud père

Good progress, Maria! Small quibble: I think "Bourguignon" in this context means Burgundian. Robb however (page 7) reckons he was from "Dôle in the Juras" (link: Dole, Jura). --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 08:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Oo, I haven't read Robb yet, so I'll take your word on it. I'm still trying to get my way around the French countryside. Starkie is oddly romantic and speculative, isn't she? María (habla conmigo) 12:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I like them both very much in their own ways. If you like Judith Farr, you'll love Graham Robb. Incidentally, there's a very good description of Rimbaud padre by Rimbaud hijo in one of his letters. I'll see if I can find it and post it. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 12:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't he involved in the slave trade...

...or trying? I seem to recall a letter he wrote near the very end of his life, to that effect. It would seem a significant fact.Figureground (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
