It includes generous selections from all the established giants – among them Baudelaire, Verlaine, Rimbaud and Breton – as well as works from a wide variety of less well-known poets such as Claudel and Cendrars, whose innovations proved vital to the progress of poetry in France. The significant literary schools of the time are also represented in sections focusing on such movements as Romanticism, Symbolism, Cubism and Surrealism.
