Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The poems of The Flowers of Evil were written in Paris at a time of revolution andaccelerating change the beginning of mass culture, the rise of consumerism and themiddle-class, the radical redevelopment of the city by Haussmann and they provide many parallels with the malaise and uncertainties of contemporary capitalist societies.Here we find poems about love (and love-hate), birds and beasts, Paris scenes and street people; about spiritual revolt, wine, death, travel and faraway places. The poet's voice is by turns ironical, angry and compassionate, his words charged with anguish, desire and rapture. Jan Owen's masterly translation captures all of Baudelaire's passion and anguish in a selection that includes many of Baudelaire's best known poems - including those banned from 1857 edition - as well as some less familiar ones, with the volume leading up to his great long poem, 'The Voyage', and finishing with the much-loved sonnet 'Meditation'.

Summary; Les Fleurs du mal, once the most infamous book of poems in French literature, became in the twentieth century the most famous, and the most admired: its challenge to convention when it was first published in 1857 led to its judicial condemnation, but it owes its 'landmark' status to the sheer aesthetic quality of its verses. In this volume, Professor Leakey provides a newly comprehensive guide to the understanding and appreciation of Les Fleurs du mal, offering fresh insights into its composition, themes and style (sound as well as sense), and setting it in its historical context. A whole chapter is devoted to Baudelaire's crowning poetic achievement, Le Cygne, and the book includes a detailed index to individual poems as well as a guide to further reading. Subjects; Baudelaire, Charles (1821-1867). Poetry & poets ; Literary studies: 19th century. French. Literary Criticism / Poetry. Literary Criticism / European / French.
