Intimate Journals
Charles Baudelaire, T. S. Eliot, CH. Isherwood
One
of the most influential French poets of the nineteenth century, Charles
Baudelaire (1821–1867) was also an important art critic and translator.
In fact, his translations of Edgar Allan Poe's works are considered
classics of French prose. Throughout much of his life, however,
Baudelaire was dismissed as a vulgar drug addict preoccupied with sex
and death. Prosecuted for obscenity and reeling from one financial
disaster to another, he produced a number of literary works that went
unrecognized during his lifetime. Perhaps the most significant
collection of poetry published in Europe during the nineteenth century,
hisFlowers of Evilwas critically condemned, and the remaining years of his life were marked by a sense of failure, disillusionment, and despair.
This
volume of the poet's essays and drawings — collected and published
after his death — includes cryptic memoranda, literary notes,
quotations, rough drafts of prose poems, and personal tirades. More than
anything else, they reveal the spiritual underpinnings of his work,
transcending the squalor of financial ruin and the torture of physical
decline to offer compelling thoughts on his world, society, and
philosophy.
