Features: A series of existentialist psychoanalytic studies by Sartre on writers and their works, a biographical monograph that is a unique work in literary criticism. He believed that Baudelaire's entire life was a self-selection and design, from lifestyle to how he conducted himself to poetry creation, choosing evil deliberately, for evil's sake, ultimately reaching the opposite of evil—goodness, leaving behind the timeless masterpiece Les Fleurs du mal for the world. Western literary trends and schools are numerous, with rises and falls, and literary theory works are constantly emerging. Almost every era has seen influential literary theorists. As literary theorists, they generally have a complete set of theories, guiding and dominating the literary scene of their time.
