Question

A different author's quotations of this writer's letter to his legal advisor are weighed by Georges Bataille in the second chapter of a book that opens, “Literature is not innocent.” This author is claimed to have “sundered himself from [the crowd] as a hero,” unlike his contemporary, in an essay from a different author's Arcades Project. An essay by this author praises watercolor artist Constantin Guys (15[1])[“GHEES”] as an “eternal convalescent” who resembles (15[1])the narrator of (*) Edgar Allan Poe's “The Man in the Crowd.” Walter Benjamin's essays on this author of “The Painter of Modern Life” expound on his idea of the flâneur. (10[1]-5[1])This man appended his most famous collection with Tableaux Parisiens during Paris’ renovation. For 10 points, name this Symbolist poet who addressed a “hypocrite (10[1])reader” (10[1])in Les Fleurs du Mal. ■END■ (10[3]0[1])

ANSWER: Charles Baudelaire [or Charles Pierre Baudelaire] (Bataille directly quotes Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of Baudelaire in his book Literature and Evil. Walter Benjamin contrasts Baudelaire with his contemporary Victor Hugo.)
