| This thesis is dedicated to the study of the relationship between the solitude of the Poet and the multitude of Paris in les Petits poèmes en prose by Baudelaire (also known as Le Spleen de Paris ). This study shows how the Poet decided to move closer to mankind, thus sacrificing the solitude that he enjoys so much. We examine a Baudelairian theme that strongly appears in the prose poetry: the artist's prostitution. Our aim was to show that the Poet is always standing by mankind even in his most absolute solitude. |
