Summary
"Charles Baudelaire (1821-1817). renowned as a poet, art critic and translator, has been hugely influential in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Throughout his life Baudelaire was fascinated both by language, which he manipulated with consummate and innovative skill, and by the visual, commenting forcefully on the art of his time. This hook brings together Baudelaire's life and his creative and critical writing, showing how closely interlinked they were, and how much his experience of daily lite and the world around him were distilled and transformed in his work."--BOOK JACKET.
