Stéphane Mallarmé, (born March 18, 1842,—died Sept. 9, 1898), was a French Poet during the Decadent movement whose work was largely influenced by Charles Baudelaire. Mallarme centered his work around the concept of reality, which was a concept that Baudelaire discussed in his work as well. Mallarme was known for his "magical" use of language in his poems about reality and his obsession with the ideal world. Although Mallarme's large collection of poems was never finished, what was recovered of his work had a lasting impression on French Decadence. By the end of his career, he was considered one of the great poets of the decadent era.
