Review # 1 was written on 2007-09-16 00:00:00 Mark A Helsing "[Baudelaire stared] very hard at a mass of things from which, more intelligently, we avert our heads." The funniest thing in here is the essay on Baudelaire. It's a trainwreck of totally contrasting sensibilities.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-09 00:00:00 Darren Inverso To me, not only was James a grand novelist, but also a sharp and discerning critic. In the midst of his time, with no history to support him, he picked out the great and soon-to-be-honored poets and novelists and gave them wonderful brush strokes. His analysis of Baudelaire, George Sand and Musset (even his affair with Sand!) are eye openers! I enjoyed his style and his insight!
