The Flowers of Evil / Les Fleurs Du Mal (Dual language French English Edition) by Charles Baudelaire
Upon its original publication in 1857 Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal or The Flowers of Evil was embroiled in controversy. Within a month of its publication the French authorities brought an action against the author and the book's publisher claiming that the work was an insult to public decency. Eventually the French courts would acknowledge the literary merit of Baudelaire's work but ordered that six poems in particular should be banned from subsequent publication. The notoriety caused by this scandal would ultimately work in the author's favor causing the initial publication to sell out, thus prompting the publication of another edition. The second edition was published in 1861, it included an additional thirty-five poems, with the exclusion of the six poems censored by the French government. Finally in 1868 a third edition was published posthumously.| SKU | Unavailable |
