This book is the first fully comprehensive study of Baudelaire's actions, reactions, and writings from the Revolution of February 1848 to the Bonapartist coup d'état of December 1851. From the biographical, textual, and contextual evidence presented, a picture emerges of Baudelaire as a consistent radical republican. A book which traces in detail the links between literary texts and socio-political contexts, Baudelaire and the Second Revolution will appeal to students and scholars of Baudelaire and of mid-nineteenth-century French politics and society.

'Richard Burton;s fine new book on Baudelaire offers us intellectual history of a high order, based upon close textual reading, careful synthesis of the most recent political and literary scholarship and serious and unusual attention to milieu. Burton marshals an impressive array of
contemporary political and cultural resources ... the book must be read in future for any scholar or graduate student seeking a mature and careful understanding of the political consciousness of French literary life in the nineteenth century.'

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Baudelaire and the Second Republic is the first fully comprehensive study of Baudelaire's actions, reactions, and writings from the Revolution of February 1848 to the Bonapartist coup d'etat of December 1851. The picture of Baudelaire that emerges from the biographical, textual and contextual materials discussed, is of a consistent radical republican. He is shown to have been close in his views first to Blanqui and then, after the failure of theinsurrection of June 1848, to Proudhon and to the democ-soc party that constituted the main resistance to Bonapartism during what remained of the Second Republic. Baudelaire was close to the popular political culture ofmid-nineteenth-century France and drew upon a reservoir of popular themes and images - notably the image of wine - in expressing his commitment to the cause of radical republicanism. A book which traces in detail the links between literary texts and socio-political contexts, this will appeal both to students of Baudelaire and of mid-1800s French politics and society. A study of Baudelaire's actions, reactions and writings from the Revolution of February 1848 to the Bonapartist coup d'etat of December 1851.
