For students of Middle English, Andrew and Waldron's The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript has been the key edition of the four Pearl poems for over 30 years. With the changing needs of today's students in mind, the editors produced a complete prose translation of the four poems - the best known of which is "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". The near-literal translations are intended to facilitate understanding of the four poems - to lead readers to, rather than away from, the original texts.

Conjoints dans une édition posthume de 1869 sous le titre de "Petits poèmes en proses", ces textes auraient dû sans doute s'intituler "Le Spleen de Paris". Tel était en effet l'intitulé auquel Baudelaire songeait. Dans cette marqueterie d'allégories, de pochades fantastiques, de vignettes lyriques, de nouvelles, de scènes de genre et de "doublets" de poèmes versifiés des "Fleurs du Mal", l'auteur traduit avec émotion le quotidien du "grand désert d'homme" dans lequel il muse solitairement, débuchant le grotesque et invoquant le sublime.

In einem früheren Vorwort des "Hyperion" sagt Hölderlin: "Die exzentrische Bahn, die der Mensch, im Allgemeinen und Einzelnen, von einem Punkte (der mehr oder weniger reinen Einfalt) zum anderen (der mehr oder weniger reinen Bildung) durchläuft, scheint sich, nach ihren wesentlichen Richtungen, immer gleich zu sein.

This collection was published posthumously in 1869 under the title of Petits Poèmes En Prose, but is also known as Le Spleen de Paris. A prime influence was Gaspard de la Nuit, the prose poem collection by Aloysius Bertrand. Baudelaire described these short pieces as experiments, and also "confessions." The poet was seeking to create "the miracle of a poetic prose, musical without rhythm and without rhyme, subtle and staccato enough to follow the lyric motions of the soul, the wavering outlines of meditation, the sudden starts of the conscience."

Die Prosa-Gedichte Baudelaires bestehen aus mehreren kleinen Erzählungen, in welchen der inhaltliche Gegenstand mal aus einem losen bis konkreten Gedanken, mal aus einem erhabenen künstlerischen Ideal, mal aus einfachen bis komplizierten menschlichen Empfindungen oder Erfahrungen besteht. Man könnte auch sagen, dass das gesprochene Wort zum gedichteten Jazz wird und undeutliche Ahnungen, zwiespältige Emotionen mit empfundenen Ambivalenzen und anmutigen Erkenntnissen bei denjenigen hervorgerufen werden, deren Verstand und Seele dafür empfänglich ist.

Ugo Foscolo esprime tutte le vicissitudini esistenziali di uno scrittore alle prese con gli anni difficili del mutamento dall'Illuminismo al Romanticismo, dalla Rivoluzione Francese alla Restaurazione, dal materialismo del 1700 all'angoscia religiosa dei romantici.
