Le spleen de Paris
« Mon cher ami, je vous envoie un petit ouvrage dont on ne pourrait pas dire, sans injustice, qu'il n'a ni queue ni tête, puisque tout, au contraire, y est à la fois tête et queue. »
Le Spleen de Paris, oeuvre majeure de Charles Baudelaire, se caractérise par une forme poétique alors singulière - la prose « ouverte sur l'infini » - mêlant les genres et les points de vue (flâneur, philosophe, rêveur, moraliste). Il s'y révèle tout le sublime et le tragique de la vie urbaine.

Charles Baudelaire
Charles-Pierre Baudelaire (UK: ; US: ; French: ; 9 April 1821 – 31 August 1867) was a French poet, essayist, translator and art critic. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhythm and rhyme, containing an exoticism inherited from the Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
His most famous work, a book of lyric poetry titled Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), expresses the changing nature of beauty in the rapidly industrialising Paris caused by Haussmann's renovation of Paris during the mid-19th century. Baudelaire's original style of prose-poetry influenced a generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé. He coined the term modernity (modernité) to designate the fleeting experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility of artistic expression to capture that experience. Marshall Berman has credited Baudelaire as being the first Modernist.
