Charles Baudelaire is often regarded as the founder of modernist poetry. Written with clarity and verve, Baudelaire's World provides English-language readers with the biographical, historical, and cultural contexts that will lead to a fuller understanding and enjoyment of the great French poet's work.Rosemary Lloyd considers all of Baudelaire's writing, including his criticism, theory, and letters, as well as poetry. In doing so, she sets the poems themselves in a richer context, in a landscape of real places populated with actual people. She shows how Baudelaire's poetry was marked by the influence of the writers and artists who preceded him or were his contemporaries. Lloyd builds an image of Baudelaire's world around major themes of his writing-childhood, women, reading, the city, dreams, art, nature, death. Throughout, she finds that his words and themes echo the historical and physical realities of life in mid-nineteenth-century Paris. Lloyd also explores the possibilities and limitations of translation. As an integral part of her treatment of the life, poetry, and letters of her subject, she also reflects on published translations of Baudelaire's work and offers some of her own translations.

In Baudelaires und Flauberts berühmtesten Werken, Les Fleurs du Mal und Madame Bovary, kommt dem ennui, der epochenspezifischen Ausformung der Melancholie, eine zentrale Rolle zu: In Baudelaires Gedichtzyklus versucht der lyrische Sprecher Gedicht um Gedicht dieses ,schlimmste aller Laster' immer wieder aufs Neue erfolglos zu überwinden, und Flauberts Emma Bovary empfindet ein ständiges Ungenügen, von dem sie sich ebenso unaufhörlich wie vergeblich zu befreien versucht.Es ist die gleiche Struktur eines unstillbaren Begehrens, die den Fleurs du Mal wie Madame Bovary zugrunde liegt: Dem melancholischen lyrischen Sprecher wie der melancholischen Romanheldin erscheint die Welt grundsätzlich als defizitär, weshalb alles Neue eine Erlösung von dieser elementaren Mangelhaftigkeit zu versprechen scheint.Doch gehört es zum Wesen dieses Neuen, dass es, sobald es erscheint, zu etwas Altem wird, das es nun seinerseits zu überwinden gilt.Auf diese Weise wird eine Suche in Gang gesetzt, die kein Ende findet, und die als bewusst gestaltete Analogie zur modernen Ästhetik gedeutet werden kann - einer Ästhetik, in der die Kategorie des Neuen an die Stelle der alten Kategorie des Schönen tritt.

En tant que spectateurs de peinture, Diderot et Baudelaire furent aussi toujours et d’abord créateurs. Ce livre montre comment leurs écrits ouvrent la voie à une approche moderne de l’art, où les œuvres sont recréées librement par l’imagination du spectateur. Ce que nous appelons la « traversée » de la peinture consiste en une approche émotive de l’image, qui se montre sensible aux effets puissants des lignes et des couleurs, dans ce qu’elles incitent à penser ou à rêver. La critique d’art naît ainsi autant de l’adhésion empathique que du détachement du regard à l’œuvre contemplée. Le lecteur découvrira ici alors la façon dont Diderot et Baudelaire ont traversé la peinture de leur temps pour donner à lire de nouvelles images, inépuisables, à rêver, méditer et savourer en tous temps. Diderot and Baudelaire were viewers of paintings, but they were first and foremost artistic creators. This book shows how their writings open the way to a modern conception of art, where the works of art are freely recreated in the imagination of the viewer. What we can call ‘traversing the painting’ consists of an emotional approach to the image, an approach which is sensitive to the powerful effects of line and colour, and the thoughts and dreams that they inspire. Art criticism thus springs as much from empathetic engagement with the artwork as it does from detachment from it. The reader of this book will discover the way in which Diderot and Baudelaire traversed the painting of their times, proposed new, timeless and inexhaustible visions to meditate on and marvel at.

This volume examines the anxieties that caused many nineteenth-century writers to insist on literature as a laboured and labouring enterprise. Following Isaac D’Israeli’s gloss on Jean de La Bruyère, it asks, in particular, whether writing should be ‘called working’. Whereas previous studies have focused on national literatures in isolation, this volume demonstrates the two-way traffic between British and French conceptions of literary labour. It questions assumed areas of affinity and difference, beginning with the labour politics of the early nineteenth century and their common root in the French Revolution. It also scrutinises the received view of France as a source of a ‘leisure ethic’, and of British writers as either rejecting or self-consciously mimicking French models. Individual essays consider examples of how different writers approached their work, while also evoking a broader notion of ‘work ethics’, understood as a humane practice, whereby values, benefits, and responsibilities, are weighed up.
