Answer
Illuminations, a notable work by Arthur Rimbaud, stands as a significant precursor to modernist literature. Completed during the late 1870s and published posthumously in 1886, this collection of prose poems challenges traditional narrative structures and language conventions, embracing subjective experiences and fragmented realities—hallmarks that would later become central to modernist aesthetics.
