Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of influence and reception of literary work of American writer Edgar Poe in the French literature before Baudelaire and after him. The name of Edgar Poe was many years almost forgotten in his homeland, and only in virtue of Baudelaire and his contemporaries it found its second birth: at first in France, and later – in Europe and America. In this paper the dynamic of that influence is followed, its peculiarities and conformities to laws in the works of French writers, as well as in their theoretical and critical works – from pre-symbolistic period to the second half of the 20th century.
