Story Line:
The Flowers of Evil, which T.S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking of sexuality and death, its unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life. Including the French texts and comprehensive explanatory notes to the poems, this extraordinary body of love poems restores the six poems originally banned in 1857, revealing the richness and variety of the collection.
Jonathan Culler’s 24 page introduction is thoughtful and informative; and the editorial apparatus of bibliography, chronology and notes on the text are up to the high standard of the series.’ Acumen Magazine
‘McGowan’s fine poetic sense uses the springing monosyllable to good effect; A reader who goes straight to James McGowan’s versions will be well rewarded. A scrupulous and sensitive poet has made the whole of Baudelaire’s poetry in verse available in English so that the unique quality of the original consistently survives.’ Harry Guest, Journal of European Studies, XXIV (1994)
