Abstract

Through its methodology, based on bringing together literary texts, comparative literature realizes the interaction between the literatures of different nations. Thus, sometimes during the study of literary works belonging to different cultures, the thoughts of certain writers intersect and weld together, to give an identical vision of the world. Among them, we can cite Charles Baudelaire, French poet of the 19th century, and Nader Naderpour, Iranian poet of the 20th century. The reading of his poems evokes the verses of certain French poets, which proves the impact of French poetry on his work. However, it seems that Naderpour granted a special place to Charles Baudelaire in his mind and thoughts. The way in which he treats certain recurring themes of romanticism in his work by pursuing this poet is the proof of this point. In this article, our objective consists of studying, by using a comparative approach, some romantic themes that are common between both poets in order to verify how much Naderpour was inspired by Baudelaire in the treatment of these themes. By utilizing the theory of the influence, according to the ideas of Pierre Brunel, we will be allowed to evaluate the originality of the Iranian poet. In fact, while using these themes, Baudelaire adopted a contradictory attitude of refusal and attraction by pursuing or opposing the romantic poets. It seems that Naderpour borrows from Baudelaire this technical process to reflect his inner universe as well as play his role in the renewal of Persian poetry.
