Sammanfattning:Nineteenth-century critics saw in Baudelaire, author of the poem «Une charogne», the heir to the macabre and mystifying inspiration of Pétrus Borel, nicknamed “the lycanthrope”. This rapprochement, very frequent in the years 1860-1890, irritated Baudelaire, who had a deep sympathy for Borel while considering him as a counter-example. This context explains why the article that Baudelaire published on Borel in the “Revue fantaisiste” on July 15, 1861, has a strong polemical tinge.
