The Poetry of Charles Baudelaire

Charles Baudelaire was one of the most influential French writers of the 19th century. This collection of his poems addresses themes of love, decadence, and death, and includes a selection of his works of poetic prose.
Baudelaire's darkly beautiful poetry and lyrical prose never fail to leave a lasting mark on his readers. Controversial and challenging, the outspoken nature of his poems marks him out as a pivotal figure in European literature - a bridge between the Romantics of the past and 20th-century modernism.
