Description8 Royal College Street, Camden Town - geograph.org.uk - 430128.jpg
English: 8 Royal College Street, Camden Town This dilapidated building was home, briefly, to two French poets: Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, in 1873. Verlaine and Rimbaud had fled Paris after Verlaine became involved with a group of unsuccessful revolutionaries. They led a bohemian lifestyle in London, which ended with Verlaine shooting and lightly wounding Rimbaud. Verlaine went on to become a respected teacher in Bournemouth and is credited with laying the foundations for French free verse and other experimental poetic techniques.
