Charles Pierre Baudelaire was a French poet. He was born in 1821 and died in 1867. His first work of importance was a series of translations from Poe, ranking among the most perfect translations in any literature. A volume of poems, Les Flours du Mal (1857), established his reputation as a leader of the Romanticists, though the police thought it necessary to deodorize them. Of a higher tone were his Petits Poemes en Prose; followed in 1859 by a monograph on Theophile Gautier, in 1860 by Les Paradis Artificiels (opium and hashish studies), and in 1861 by Wagner and Taunhauser.
