Abstract
Claude Pichois's new facsimile edition of the manuscript of Mon cœur mis à nu is an essential and engrossing reference for any Baudelaire scholar. It offers a compelling look at the poetic process in a work of discreet scholarship, attractive presentation and easy access. On facing pages of this large (26 x 36 cm) book, the reader can easily compare the diplomatic transcription of the manuscript (on the left) with its facsimile edition (on the right). This format makes it effortless for the non-specialist reader to decipher Baudelaire's handwriting and, more importantly, it is more fascinating to the scholar interested in Baudelaire's creative process than an analysis of the variants relegated to the back of a standard edition. This facsimile edition is thus a useful complement to the Pléiade edition, in which the annotations for Mon cœur mis à nu under the heading Journaux intimes follow the primary text in the "Notice, Notes et Variantes" section.
