The first English collection of the late poetry and prose fragments
of literary icon Charles Baudelaire "[A] handsome new book . . .
all this inchoate material is given context by Sieburth's learned,
elegantly written commentary. He is the perfect guide."-Michael
Dirda, Washington Post "[These] unfinished works written after 1861
. . . deliver what their titles seem to promise: a soul stripped of
guises and illusions."-Ange Mlinko, New York Review of Books While
not as well-known as his other works, Charles Baudelaire's late
poems, drafts of poems, and prose fragments are texts indispensable
to the history of modern poetics. This volume brings together
Baudelaire's late fragmentary writings, aphoristic in form and
radical in thought, into one edited collection for the first time.
Substantial introductions to each work by Richard Sieburth combine
the literary context with formal analysis and reception history to
give readers a comprehensive picture of the genesis of these works
and their subsequent fate. Baudelaire's turn toward fragmentary
writing involved not only a conscious renunciation of his
aesthetics of perfection and unity, but a desertion of the
harmonies of the traditional lyric in favor of the disjunctions of
prose. These are daring works, often painful to read in their
misanthropy and unconventional beauty.
