In this episode of The Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we explore Baudelaire’s World by Rosemary Lloyd, a deep dive into the life, art, and tortured mind of Charles Baudelaire. A poet of modernity, exile, and decadence, Baudelaire lived a life marked by mental anguish, addiction, and creative obsession. How did his struggles with depression, self-destructive tendencies, and alienation fuel his visionary poetry? What role did his fascination with memory, duality, and the darker aspects of human nature play in shaping his artistic legacy? Join us as we examine the deep connection between Baudelaire’s genius and his personal demons, uncovering how his suffering became the raw material for some of the most haunting poetry in literary history.
