Book Description
This volume contains four thoughtful essays prepared by eminent Baudelaire scholars to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the death of Baudelaire. Each of these essays deals with a very different aspect of the poet's genius and influence: his love poetry, his aesthetic ideas, and his relation to Manet and to Rimbaud. Henri Peyre of Yale University interprets Baudelaire's love poems in an independent and original way against a rich background of comparative material. René Galand of Wellesley College shows how Baudelaire's aesthetics may be related to present-day anthropological thinking. Marcel Ruff of the University of Nice traces the positive and negative aspects of Baudelaire's relationship to Rimbaud. And Francis and Lois Boe Hyslop of The Pennsylvania State University clarify the personal and artistic relationship of the poet-critic to the painter Manet. Through the variety of subjects and approaches, the reader will find interesting threads of connection that link these essays together--threads that have their source in the complex mind of Baudelaire.
