Les Fleurs du Mal: The Flowers of Evil: the complete dual language edition, fully revised and updated

Since it was first published in 2016, this dual-language edition of Baudelaire's acclaimed collection of poems has become the translation of choice for discerning readers throughout the world. A lifelong admirer of fine poetry, especially that of the great nineteenth century French poets, John E. Tidball has rendered into rhyming and metrical English verse Charles Baudelaire's seminal collection of poems 'Les Fleurs du Mal'. The translations mirror the original French texts, which appear on each facing page. This book contains all the poems that were included in the complete posthumous edition of 1868, as well as the six pieces that were condemned by the court after publication of the first edition in 1857, and which were only reinstated in France in 1949.
