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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Baudelaire\u003c\/b\u003e (1821-1867) is widely regarded as a giant of modern French poetry. \u003cb\u003eRichard Sieburth\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of English, French, and comparative literature at New York University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50508982255890,"sku":"9780300270495","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_91f1c969-159a-400f-9c50-ff1df56606a2.jpg?v=1730884199","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/late-fragments-flares-my-heart-laid-bare-prose-poems-belgium-disrobed-9780300270495","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
