Flowers of Evil

Flowers of Evil

Charles Pierre Baudelaire (April 9, 1821 - August 31, 1867) was a French poet who produced notable work as an essayist, art critic, and pioneering translator of Edgar Allan Poe. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), expresses the changing nature of beauty in modern, industrializing Paris during the 19th century. Baudelaire's highly original style of prose-poetry influenced a whole generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and StÃ©phane MallarmÃ© among many others. He is credited with coining the term "modernity" (modernitÃ©) to designate the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility art has to capture that experience.
