The Postmodern Paradox John Haber in New York City Baudelaire the Postmodern Start with a poet, a tireless defender of avant-garde painting: This life, this modern life, is a hospital where each patient is obsessed with the desire to change beds. Charles Baudelaire preceded Modernism, but he did not require the gift of prophecy. It is not just his love of Edouard Manet's generation and a new French taste . No, he breathed the modern condition and its artistic form in the night air of the city. If there is a postmodern condition, it cannot even be stated consistently much less cured. Like a right-wing fantasies of the welfare state, Postmodernism is a hospital where the beds must remain empty. Modernism demanded one thing: make it new . If I discard it, I have to find something else, something new. And so I am modernist. If I discard the aim of making it new, then I must do something other than Modernism. But that means something new. Instead of the postmodern condition, one ought to speak of a postmodern paradox. Reasons and reasons why No wonder that proponents of a new cultural era sound so otherworldly. They might be fierce post-cold war ideologues reveling in

charles baudelaire Going for broke Hope I'll reach you there I feel the people [contributed by Fiona Webster, with Encyclopedia Britannica as main source for biographical material] Born 1821 in Paris; died 1867 in Paris. French poet and translator of the tales of Edgar Allan Poe. Prosecuted for obscenity and blasphemy, and long after his death still identified in the public mind with depravity and vice, Baudelaire has become above all others of his age the poet of modern civilization, seeming to speak directly to the 20th century. Rejecting the posing of the Romantics, he revealed himself in his often introspective poetry as a seeker of God without religious beliefs, searching in every manifestation of life the colour of a flower, the frown of a prostitute for its true significance. Both as poet and as critic he appeals to man's condition in the modern world; and modern, too, are his refusal to admit restriction in the poet's choice of theme and his assertion of the poetic power of symbols. Some important details about Baudelaire's life: Only son of a woman who was very affectionate toward him when he was young His father was a man of culture and an amateur painter of some merit, who taught his son, when only four or five, to appreciate the beauty of form and line. His father died when Charles was six.

Who is Charles Baudelaire? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Charles Baudelaire was a French poet whose work epitomizes the Decadent movement in literature. He also produced influential critical essays on other important writers of his era and translated much of Edgar Allan Poe's work into French. Baudelaire is best known for his collection of poetry entitled Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil) . His work also had a significant influence on the emergent Symbolist movement in art and literature. Baudelaire was born in Paris on 9 April 1821. When he was 16 years old, his father died, and his mother remarried the next year, to a lieutenant-colonel who later became an ambassador . Baudelaire graduated from the Coll¨ge Louis-le-Grand in 1839 and planned to begin a literary career. However, his life became quite chaotic, and his guardians consequently sent him on a trip to India in 1841. When he returned, Baudelaire was old enough to collect the money he inherited from his father, but he managed to spend nearly all of it over the next year or so and the remainder was placed in trust. Around this time, Baudelaire met Jeanne Duval, the inspiration for many of his poems, with whom he continued to have a relationship until the end of his life. Baudelaire's career as a writer began with a few art reviews in 1845 and 1846. Shortly thereafter, he discovered the works of Poe in English and was awe-struck. He worked on translations of Poe's stories into French for the next 20 years, and his versions remain highly acclaimed. Baudelaire also wrote reviews on the work of his contemporaries, including Theophile Gautier, Gustave Flaubert, and Honore de Balzac.

67. Charles Baudelaire The poetry of charles baudelaire reflects the mind of the wretched genius, one of the most interesting characters in the world of literature. http://www.cyberpat.com/essays/baudelaire.html

Charles Baudelaire: Selected Poems The poetry of Charles Baudelaire reflects the mind of the wretched genius, one of the most interesting characters in the world of literature. From Marlowe to Poe to Dostoyevsky, the wretched geniuses of every age provide a unique vision of the world, a world stripped of pretense and pomp, revealing the darker side of man's nature, the ugly and the perverse and the dissolute. The wretched genius suffers, suffers intensely, and through his suffering the world is somehow brought into crystal clarity, a focus achieved by no other means than that of the experience of pain. Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) led a life filled with extreme mental and physical suffering. A syphilitic, suicidal alcoholic and drug addict, his life and work might seem to us, at first glance, to have been an exercise in pathetic, wallowing self-pity...until we read his poetry. While seemingly obsessed with death, debauchery, and dissipation, the underlying themes of his poems point to an ideal of sublimity, a thirst for what could be and yet never is. One detects a longing for perfection which is, of course, the source of all of Baudelaire's cynical bile. In the prose poem "The Dog and the Scent Bottle" we see an example of Baudelaire's embittered idealism. A man offering perfume to a dog is a perfect allegory for the artist offering his work to the masses: it is rejected. Not only is it rejected, it is thrown over for the aromatic charms of garbage and excrement. While the subject matter of the piece is essentially base (a dog's preference for the smell of shit), the theme is unmistakable.

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE Sexuality is the lyricism of the masses. CHARLES BAUDELAIRE, There are in every man, always, two simultaneous allegiances, one to God, the other to Satan. Invocation of God, or Spirituality, is a desire to climb higher; that of Satan, or animality, is delight in descent.

@import "images/tradition-with-palette-100.css"; /* */ POX: Genius, Madness, and the Mysteries of Syphilis Home Topics From readers Baudelaire Excerpt from Baudelaire chapter: We all have the republican spirit in our veins, just as we have the pox in our bones. We are democratized and syphilised. Charles Baudelaire Charles Baudelaire’s volume of poetry Les fleurs du mal—Flowers of Evil, so scandalized his contemporaries with its theme of beauty and corruption that he was charged with obscenity, and six of the poems having to do with lesbians and vampires were suppressed by the French Public Safety Section of the Ministry of the Interior. Gustave Flaubert wrote a deeply indignant letter of sympathy to the young man, asking against what had he offended: religion? public morals? It was something new, Flaubert wrote, to prosecute a book of verse. To his mother Baudelaire explained that Les fleurs du mal was a witness to his disgust and hatred of everything. The poet Paul Verlaine called him le poète maudit (the cursed poet). How much of this disgust and hatred was related to his knowledge of being syphilitic? (Mal means both evil and malady.) Baudelaire never made any public statements about his disease, although he did speak of it in letters to his family. He confessed to his mother (6 May 1861): “You know that when very young I caught a venereal infection, which I later supposed to be totally cured. In Dijon after 1848 it erupted again. It was made to subside once more. Now it is returned in a novel form, marks on the skin, and extraordinary stiffness in all the joints. You may believe me; I know about it. Perhaps in the state of sadness in which I am plunged, my terror makes it worse.” This sadness contrasts with Baudelaire’s famous statement of bravado: “On the day that the writer corrects his first proof, he is as proud as a schoolboy who has just caught his first pox.”

Path : culture characters Become a member and get a silver caffeine molecule necklace Photographed by Nadar Photographer Unknown Erowid Character Vaults Charles Baudelaire Apr 9, 1821 - Aug 31, 1867 Summary Charles Pierre Baudelaire is considered to have been one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century. A radical, revolutionary in his own time, Baudelaire led a tempestuous, often despairing lifestyle. Inspired by Thomas De Quincey 's Confessions of an Opium Eater, Baudelaire's musings on wine and hashish describe the ambivalence of memory and an escape from narrative time. A persisting theme of his poetry was that of drunkenness — as induced by wine, poetry, or virtue — which he celebrated in extraordinary style. Baudelaire was a member of the Club Des Hashichins (Hashish Club), founded in Paris around 1835, whose members met to enjoy cannabis. He wrote on hashish with great acuity, but it was from his studious note-taking, rather than in-depth personal experience. As Baudelaire put it, "wine makes men happy and sociable; hashish isolates them. Wine exalts the will; hashish annihilates it." When his book The Flowers of Evil appeared in 1857, all involved - author, publisher, and printer - were prosecuted and found guilty of obscenity and blasphemy.
