Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Influence of Baudelaire: In France and England The critic´s part is to listen to the echoes of a soul (the soul of a thinker or artist) as they sound through the world. Doubtless his first duty is to study at once the author he wishes to reveal to the public. But criticism as understood in these days has far too great a tendency to develop into a study of pathological psychology, and the critics are at pains to prove with mathematical precision that Goethe was a ´superior degenerate,´ Flaubert a neurotic, Edgar Poe a drunkard. Does that explain why these three writers had so great an influence? Sainte-Beuve discovered that there existed ´families of minds.´ Quite so - if we understand by that that it is impossible to isolate a writer from his age. But if genius is a product, a product of its race, its surroundings, and its times, it is also, and above all, a cause. Genius, through its own power, creates its own surroundings - that is what Taine would not see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
