Richardson, Joanna. Baudelaire. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1994.
A very detailed and comprehensive recent biography based on a wide range of primary sources, but disappointing in its failure to situate Baudelaire in a broader historical context. Richardson is overly dismissive of Baudelaire's personal politics, and her analysis of his psychological development is lacking in insight.
Clark, T. J. "Delacroix and Baudelaire." In The Absolute Bourgeois: Artists and Politics in France, 1848-1851, pp. 124-77. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1972.
A fine and nuanced older study. A good corrective to Richardson's apolitical portrait.]
Coven, Jeffrey. Baudelaire's Voyages: The Poet and his Painters. With an Essay by Dore Ashton. From an exhibition organized by the Heckshere Museum. Boston: Bulfinch Press, 1993.
Relates Baudelaire's poetry to the paintings that often inspired him, as well as analyzing his influence on later painters, both as a poet and art critic. Excellent selection of reproductions.
