In both his life and his poetry, Charles Pierre Baudelaire pushed the accepted limits of his time. His dissolute bohemian life was as shocking to his nineteenth-century readers as his poetry. Writing in classical style but with brutal honesty, Baudelaire laid bare human suffering, aspirations, and perversions.

Public condemnedLes fleurs du mal(1857), obscene only volume of French writer, translator, and criticCharles Pierre Baudelaire; expanded in 1861, it exerted an enormous influence over later symbolist and modernist poets.Reputation of Charles Pierre Baudelaire rests primarily on perhaps the most important literary art collection, published in Europe in the 19th century. Similarly, his early experimentPetits poèmes en prose(1868) (Little Prose Poems) most succeeded and innovated of the time.From financial disaster to prosecution for blasphemy, drama and strife filled life of known Baudelaire with highly controversial and often dark tales ofEdgar Allan Poe. Long after his death, his name represents depravity and vice. He seemingly speaks directly to the 20th century civilization.
