Baudelaire Enid Starkie 1958 HC/DJ 1st Ed. Biography France Poetry Writing - R17



A controversial figure in his lifetime, Baudelaire's name has become a byword for literary and artistic decadence. At the same time his works, in particular his book of poetry Les fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), have been acknowledged as classics of French literature. This is an account and an interpretation of Baudelaire's work; of his life; of his times. And it is a biography not of his outward life alone but of that inner personality which is reflected so intimately in his poetry. Insight, scholarship, awareness, and unrivaled knowledge both of Baudelaire's work and of the world he lived in, all combine to make this a book of major interest and of major importance.




Dr. Starkie, a lecturer in French literature at Oxford, has devoted many years of research to Rimbaud, revising her biography three times as new manuscript material and information about him has come to light.
