Originally published in 1951, this book explores the nature of
literary influence, and its part in literary creation, as found at
work in some aspects of French poetry after Baudelaire. Part I
contains an essay on Swedenborg and Baudelaire, an essay on Edgar
Allan Poe, Baudelaire and Mallarne, a third on the 'imposing but
frequently miscalculated effects' of Baudelaire's discovery of Poe
and a fourth on Whitman and the Symbolists. Part II is concerned
with prosody, and contains four essays entitled 'From poetic prose
to the prose-poem'; 'the development of the vers libere; 'the first
theory of vers libre'; 'Whitman and the origins of the vers libre'.
With these eight essays are reprinted the vivid accounts of
personal interviews which the author had as a young man more than
thirty years before publication - when he first began to
investigate the problems discussed in these essays - with the
post-Symbolist poets.
