		The son of Joseph-Francois Baudelaire and Caroline Archimbaut Dufays, Charles Baudelaire was born in Paris in 1821.
		Baudelaire was very close with his mother (much of what is known of his later life comes from the letters he wrote her), but was deeply distressed when she married Major Jacques Aupick.
		Baudelaire enhanced this reputation by flaunting his eccentricities; for instance, he once asked a friend in the middle of a conversation "Wouldn't it be agreeable to take a bath with me?" Because of the abundance of stories about the poet, it is difficult to sort fact from fiction.

	Baudelaire, Charles Criticism and Essays
		Baudelaire's view of contemporary life also informs his pioneering achievement in the prose poem genre, Petits poèmes en prose: Le spleen de Paris, a collection of short fictional sketches possessing characteristics often associated with poetry: concision, emphasis of images over plot, and heightened attention to word choice, phrasing, and cadence.
		Baudelaire's only other fictional composition, the novella La Fanfarlo, revolves around the artistic aspirations and amorous entanglements of a young Parisian writer and is prized for its autobiographical content and elucidation of Baudelaire's aesthetic theories.
		Critics agree that in La Fanfarlo Baudelaire expresses contempt for the character of Cramer, a man with an overactive imagination and an inclination toward extreme romanticism, and La Fanfarlo is generally considered a reproof to the moralizing stories by Romantic writers in France, who had done little to legitimize the short story as a genre.

	Charles-Pierre Baudelaire
		Baudelaire combined the beautiful language and grandeur of the best Romantic artists with the unflinching eye of the Naturalists; his efforts to express "the heroism of modern life" were a major influence on artists as diverse as Rilke, Joyce and T.S. Eliot.
		Baudelaire's poems describe a cycle which leads from intoxication through conflict and revulsion and, finally, an ultimate ambivalent tranquility born of memory and of the transmutation of suffering into art.
		Baudelaire is also one of the first major artists of transgression; his poetry deals frankly with rape, sexual deviance, and Satanism (although Baudelaire considered himself a Roman Catholic, he was far more fascinated by the devil and by original sin than by Christian ideals or standards of conduct).

		Baudelaire had been highly stimulated by the fighting; it had provided him with the kind of excitement which set his adrenaline coursing and enabled him to explode out of his habitual condition of lethargy.
		Baudelaire was the revolutionary clown and courts that danger was not for the republic, but for the excitement, and the exhilarating idea of being victorious over his stepfather who was commandant of the Polytechnic School at the time.
		Baudelaire occupies a pivotal position in the development of modern French writing, not just as the poet of Les Fleurs du mal, but as the proponent, in his critical writings, of a modern, and specifically urban, aesthetic based on what he called the 'innombrables rapports' and encounters of city life.

	Charles Baudelaire
		Baudelaire's line, "-Yet you will come to this offence," is not far off from "to this favor she must come." The device of couching "Carrion" in the form of a love poem to a beautiful lady only reinforces the theme Baudelaire is exploring.
		Baudelaire's recurring theme of the vampire appears briefly in the line, "and how much more I relish burial in his hot belly than in my cold vaults." The darker aspect of the poem is so deftly woven into the fabric of the verse that it does not become apparent until one reads it several times.
		One reason I find Baudelaire so enjoyable is that he seems to be almost an "anti-poet." So much of poetry is concerned with idolizing and describing beauty, of taking joy in the myriad configurations of life, and compared to such poetry, Baudelaire is a breath of foul air.

		Baudelaire’s Ascendant-ruler Mercury conjoins the fixed star Scheat, which is traditionally associated with literary ability but is also called the star of “malevolence of sublime scope,” as is born out by the latter part of his life.

		As both poet and critic, Baudelaire stands in relation to French and European poetry as Gustave Flaubert and Edouard Manet do to fiction and painting; as a crucial link between Romanticism and modernism and as a supreme example, in both his life and work, of what it means to be a modern artist.
		Baudelaire always insisted that the collection was not a "simple album" but had "a beginning and an end," each poem revealing its full meaning only when read in relation to the others within the "singular framework" in which it is placed.
		Baudelaire is a pivotal figure in European literature and thought, and his influence on modern poetry has been immense.

	HERMENAUT: Charles-Pierre Baudelaire: 1821-1867
		For Baudelaire, it is the artist-philosopher's curse and duty to remain on the precipice of the abyss, to suffer from vertigo.
		Baudelaire suffered from a kind of hermeneutic vertigo in which binary oppositions such as real/unreal, truth/falsehood, self/loss of self, moral/immoral, and even bourgeois/bohemian were rendered absurd.
		Baudelaire was fascinated with Swedenborgianism because it seemed to blend the philosopher's rigorous skepticism toward received notions and modes of perception with the artist's unique ability to find the perfect symbol to express his own unique notions and perceptions.

		Charles Baudelaire is one of France's best-known poets whose most famous work is the verse sequence "Les Fleurs du Mal." Walter Martin is a poet and a translator.
		Baudelaire's extreme content--his embrace of putrefaction, filth, sadism and ennui as fit stuff for poetry--owes much of its impact to the tight, disciplined verses he chose for his medium.
		Martin's translation could be improved by following Baudelaire's order of ideas and literal diction more closely, but he captures the spirit of each poem in a way that makes this volume stand out from most of the previous efforts I've seen.
