Baudelaire Charles - Selected Poems From Les Fleurs Du Mal - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The poems of The Flowers of Evil were written in Paris at a time of revolution and accelerating change - the beginning of mass culture the rise of consumerism and the middle - class the radical redevelopment of the city by Haussmann - and they provide many parallels with the malaise and uncertainties of contemporary capitalist societies. Jan Owen's masterly translation captures all of this 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'.
