Baudelaire, Charles Pierre

Baudelaire, Charles Pierre (1821–67) French poet and critic. His collection of poems, Les Fleurs du Mal (1857), represents one of the highest achievements of 19th century French poetry. Baudelaire explores the poetic theory of correspondences (scent, sound, and colour), and the aesthetic creed of the inseparability of beauty and corruption. The poems were condemned by the censor, and six of them were subsequently suppressed. Baudelaire was much influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, whose poetry he translated and whose works figure prominently in his major pieces of criticism, Curiosités Esthetiques and L'Art Romantique (both 1869).
