A study of the poetic theories and practices of Baudelaire and the principal symbolist poets. This course will examine the origins, goals, realizations, and paradoxes of the symbolist movement as it distinguishes them from realist traditions and modernist modes. Readings from Baudelaire, Mallarme, Verlaine, Rimbaud, and the minor symbolists will frame the movement’s central themes and illuminate the function of language in art and thought.
