Description

Book Synopsis
The poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) has been labeled the icon of modernity, the scribe of the modern city, and an observer of an emerging capitalist culture. This title reconsiders this literary figure and his fraught relationship with the nineteenth-century world by examining the way in which he viewed the increasing dominance of modern life.

Trade Review
"Perceptive and powerfully imaginative, this book will interest all scholars and students of nineteenth-century thought, as well as those investigating the philosophical questions that arose from the emergence of a newly technologized world." (Marie-Helene Huet, Princeton University)"
