Les Fleurs du mal
Pourquoi le recueil des Fleurs du mal a-t-il cette audience aujourd'hui ? Parce qu'il représente, depuis 1857, la naissance d'une poésie nouvelle. Baudelaire utilise les formes classiques - le sonnet, l'alexandrin - pour dire la modernité : la bizarrerie, les villes immenses, le malaise d'une existence douloureuse. Face à cette angoisse, il nous propose un moyen de vaincre le mal, le dégoût de soi et des autres, le « spleen » : l'idéal d'un langage qui nous montrerait un ailleurs rêvé, un monde enfin habitable.

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.
