Product Details

Set in a modern, urban Paris, the prose pieces in this volume constitute a
further exploration of the terrain Baudelaire had covered in his verse
masterpiece, The Flowers of Evil: the city with all its squalor and inequalities,
the pressures of time and mortality, and the liberation provided by the sensual
delights of intoxication, art and women.
Published posthumously in 1869, Paris Spleen was a landmark publication in
the development of the genre of prose poetry - a form which Baudelaire saw
as particularly suited for expressing the feelings of uncertainty, flux and
freedom of his age - and one of the founding texts of literary Modernism.

Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) is most famous for his groundbreaking
collection of verse The Flowers of Evil, but his essays, translations and prose
poems have been equally influential.
