Synopsis "Baudelaire: Poems of 1861: A dual-language book with translations in English verse (in English)"

The original poems in this book were published by Charles Baudelaire in 1861 under the title Les Fleurs du Mal. This was the second edition of the same name, but it differs from the first edition both in the increased number and in the order of poems. The first edition, consisting of one hundred poems appeared in 1857, but almost immediately after publication Baudelaire and his editor were prosecuted and condemned for 'vulgar realism offending against public decency'. Following the trial six of the poems were censored and banned by the court. The six banned poems are included here, with their translations, after the main text of the 1861 edition.

(París, 1821-1867) Está entre los poetas más influyentes del siglo XIX, y probablemente también de toda la historia de la literatura universal. Expulsado del Liceo Louis-le-Grand pese a la obtención del título de Bachiller superior, en 1940 se inscribe en la facultad de derecho. Comienza a frecuentar entonces el Barrio Latino, donde conoce a Gérard de Nerval, Sainte-Beuve y Balzac, adentrándose de forma irrefrenable en el mundo de humo, opio y prostitución de la bohemia parisina. Por su impía conducta, la familia lo envía a los Mares del Sur. A su regreso, no obstante, Baudelaire vertería la obra de Edgar Allan Poe al francés y llevaría a cabo sus obras más conocidas: desde el escandaloso poemario Las flores del mal (1857) hasta los textos de Los paraísos artificiales (1960) y el póstumo El spleen de París (1869). Duramente criticado y vilipendiado en vida por lo escandaloso de su obra y conducta, Baudelaire murió sifilítico y empobrecido, desconocedor del impagable legado que había donado a la posteridad. Adalid del simbolismo, estandarte del romanticismo y precursor del decadentismo, su cuerpo yace enterrado en el Cementerio de Montparnasse.
