About This Item
Hamish Hamilton, 1982 hardcover, 15½cms x 23½cms, with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, & usual stamps, stickers etc. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket Fifteen b&w illustrations. Baudelaire's unhappy childhood together with the mixture of strong affection and bitter resentment in the grown man's feelings for his mother, provide the key to much of what is contradictory and ambiguous in his behaviour and particularly in his dealings with the various women he loved. These various aspects of Baudelaire's genius are here set against the background of the optimistic, materialistic society of his day (which he hated and condemned root and branch).
