Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Charles Baudelaire's work is of immense importance in world literature. With his urban attitude and subject matter, and his blending and balancing of the romantic and classical traditions, he was the forerunner of modernism, the first truly confessional poet, speaking in his own voice in all he wrote. 'Father of modern poetry', he was also a visionary art critic, the progenitor of the prose poem, a pioneer of symbolism, and the influential translator of Edgar Allan Poe. Although popularly known as a poet of decadence because of his treatment in poetry of new and often disturbing subject matter - sex, drugs, death, self-disgust, sin and satanism, it was the ideal of beauty that was his guiding principle, and his work has an uncompromising allegiance to truth.
