The French poet-critic Georges Hugnet has written of Lautréamont: \"He terrifies, stupefies, strikes dumb. He could look squarely at that which others had merely given a passing glance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen first published in 1868-69, \u003ci\u003eMaldoror\u003c\/i\u003e went almost unnoticed. But in the 1890s, the book was rediscovered and hailed as a work of genius by such eminent writers as Huysmans, Léon Bloy, Maeterlinck, and Rémy de Gourmont. Later still, Lautréamont was to be canonised as one of their principal \"ancestors\" by the Paris surrealists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition, translated by Guy Wernham, includes a long introduction to a never-written, or now lost, volume of poetry.
