John E. Tidball is a literary translator widely recognised for his English translations of Charles Baudelaire, particularly his rhyming and metrical versions of Les Fleurs du mal. His work is noted for maintaining the authenticity of Baudelaire's idiom while adhering to the original poetic structures. This comprehensive collection of Baudelaire's poetry includes the full text of the 1861 edition of Les Fleurs du mal, with the addition of the 1866 collection Les Épaves, which was published in Belgium and included the six poems that were banned in 1857. Also included in this edition are the poems that were not published in book form during Baudelaire's lifetime, including two early poems from 1845 that were signed by Alexandre Privat d'Anglemont but were later attributed to Baudelaire. The original poems are complemented by carefully crafted versions in English verse on the facing page.
