This paper explores the presence of correspondances and allegory in Walter Benjamin's thoughts on the poetry of Charles Baudelaire. It compares these thoughts with other contemporary critical approaches and points up the relationship, which Benjamin considered essential, between the form of Baudelaire's work and the historical changes of the mid-nineteenth century.

this paper analyzes the articles and reviews by Fernando Charry Lara to clarify how his points of view on the nature and function of modern poetry were built as well as his ideas about the composition of the poem, the relationship between individual expression and the conscious construction of the work, the language of poetry and the tasks of the modern poet. Charry structured those ideas by means of reading and discussing the critical work of other contemporary poets such as Paul Valéry, T. S. Eliot, Luis Cernuda and Octavio Paz, in the context of debates about modernism, the Piedracielismo movement and poetry in the mid-20th century in Colombia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
