Modernist Poetry: Baudelaire and Rilke.

Abstract: (5pp) One of the wonderful things about old-fashioned roll-top desks, was that there were many cubbyholes for sorting out "things;" then if there was still too much mess, one had the option of just pulling down the top cover and hiding it all. There are times when we hope that is true with the arts-that it can be arranged and ordered, and that which we do not understand, can simply be covered, or hidden. Artistic "modernism" was not content with historic pigeon-holing and sought to give voice to individualism, and expression to that part of our world that was locked between two world wars. The work of Baudelaire and Rilke in the Moderist framework will be considered. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
