About this book
In the early 20th century, literary circles were abuzz with debates over the role of criticism and the nature of artistic genius. "Baudelaire et Sainte-Beuve" by Fernand Vandérem offers a penetrating examination of the intricate dynamics between the renowned poet Charles Baudelaire and the formidable critic Sainte-Beuve. This compelling literary study explores themes of artistic integrity and the tension between personal expression and critical reception. Readers will discover how Baudelaire's revolutionary ideas on beauty and modernity clash with Sainte-Beuve's traditionalist views. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites a deeper understanding of literary discourse and the evolution of poetic thought in the face of societal expectations.
