About this book

Prose poems and verse by Charles Baudelaire appear here in English through several hands, in a collection edited by T. R. Smith in 1919. Arthur Symons, Joseph T. Shipley and F. P. Sturm translate the prose poems, while Sturm and W. J. Robertson take selections from The Flowers of Evil, and Richard Herne Shepherd adds three more poems.

Swinburne's poem Ave atque Vale, written in memory of Baudelaire, and a study by Sturm come first. Shipley's translation of the private notebooks Rockets and My Heart Laid Bare closes the book.
