Charles Baudelaire's place among the great poets of the Western
world is undisputed, and his influence on the development of poetry
since his lifetime has been enormous. In this Companion, essays by
outstanding scholars illuminate Baudelaire's writing both for the
lay reader and for specialists. In addition to a survey of his life
and a study of his social context, the volume includes essays on
his verse and prose, analyzing the extraordinary power and
effectiveness of his language and style, his exploration of
intoxicants like wine and opium, and his art and literary
criticism. The volume also discusses the difficulties, successes
and failures of translating his poetry and his continuing power to
move his readers. Featuring a guide to further reading and a
chronology, this Companion provides students and scholars of
Baudelaire and of nineteenth-century French and European literature
with a comprehensive and stimulating overview of this extraordinary
poet.
