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.
