Writer #7: Charles Baudelaire


The French author Charles Pierre Baudelaire (1821-1867) was the poet of the modern metropolis and was one of the first great French precursors of the symbolists. He has also been recognized as one of the 19th century's finest art critics and translators.

His life influenced his writings. Or was it the other way round?
