Interpretation Conducive To Books Twenty Prose Poems

From the introduction by Michael Hamburger:
“Baudelaire's prose poems were written at long intervals during the last twelve or thirteen years of his life. The prose poem was a medium much suited to his habits and character. Being pre-eminently a moralist, he needed a medium that enabled him to illustrate a moral insight as briefly and vividly as possible. Being an artist and sensualist, he needed a medium that was epigrammatic or aphoristic, but allowed him scope for fantasy and for that element of suggestiveness which he considered essential to beauty. His thinking about society and politics, as about everything else, was experimental; like the thinking of most poets it drew on experience and imagination, rather than on facts and general arguments. That is another reason why the prose poem proved a medium so congenial to Baudelaire.”

Assessment About Books Twenty Prose Poems

A beautiful quick set of rich pieces of prose. Feed on this when you're hungry for something better.Most of these I believe are in Paris Spleen, but since I read this first, it's what created my love for Baudelaire. Even with a limited knowledge of literature I feel one could appreciate the simple and engaging little slices of life he's fashioned. Definitely would love to have analyzed these in a lit class, and I'll for sure return to them again some day.

Charles Pierre Baudelaire was a 19th century French poet, translator, and literary and art critic whose reputation rests primarily on Les Fleurs du Mal; (1857; The Flowers of Evil) which was perhaps the most important and influential poetry collection published in Europe in the 19th century. Similarly, his Petits poèmes en prose (1868; "Little Prose Poems") was the most successful and innovative

If you like vision and saucy philosophers, read this book.

i like baudelaire's vision of the city and people. he uses beautiful imagery and sentence structures.

Presented in both French and English, it is a walk through observations, Paris and age and time and perverts/society included. (The Double Room was personally appreciated, thinking of my own writing room) It is playful, with language lifting, and I appreciated being offered both languages. The intro makes the case for the prose poem and the limits of French poetic form during Baudelaire's time--thus why these efforts allowed more, essentially, to be said.

There were several poems within this book that truly spoke to me: At One OClock in the Morning, The Eyes of the Poor, The Generous Gamester, and The Port. These poems made me actually think, not something that every book can claim. The language was beautifully vivid - though for a younger crowd, it might be viewed as dense and difficult to comprehend - and each poem described something that accurately captured one of the countless potential portrayals of humanity. Id definitely read this book
