Les Poetes Maudits (1888)

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring themes of love, death, religion, and nature, this collection of poems reflects the deep melancholy and despair of Paul Verlaine's tumultuous life. It serves as a tribute to marginalized poets like Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Mallarmé, who faced societal rejection due to their unconventional lifestyles and writings. Divided into four parts, the work is a cornerstone of French Symbolist poetry and has significantly influenced numerous writers and poets since its 1888 publication.
