The Flowers of Evil, which T. S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern        poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with        its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking sexuality and death, its        unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life.          The volume was seized by the police, and Baudelaire and his published were put on        trial for offence to public decency. Six offending poems were banned, ina conviction        that was not overturned until 1949.This bold new translation, which restores the        banned poems to their original places and reveals the full richness and variety of        the collection, makes available to English speakers a powerful and original version        of the world. Jonathan Culler's Introduction outlines this vision, stressing that        Baudelaire is more than just the poet of the modern city. Originally to be called        `The Lesbians', The Flowers of Evil contains the most extraordinary body of love        poetry. The poems also pose thequestion of the role of evil in our lives, of whether        there are not external forces working to frustrate human plans and to enlist men and        women on appalling or stultifying scenarios not of their own making.
