les fleurs du mal
first thus rebound, 1961.
famously subject to an obscenity trial, charles baudelaire's collection of poetry was heavily censored when first published in france in 1857. a second edition was published in 1861, adding 35 new poems and removing six deemed too immoral for public consumption. a third edition was published in 1868. over the next century, select poems were frequently translated into english, but howard's translation is the first english edition of the complete work.
