The Flowers of Evil (Oxford World's Classics)

lvii, [1], 399, [7] pp. A new translation with notes by James McGowan and an introduction by Jonathan Culler, with the original French text in parallel. "Banned and slighted in his lifetime, the book that contains all of Baudelaire's verses has opened up vistas to the imagination and quickened sensibilities of poets everywhere. Yet it is questionable whether a single translator can give adequate voice to Baudelaire's full poetic range."
