Professor Jackson Mathews felt that no one translator could encompass Baudelaire's full range. Over a period of seven years he and his wife collected and compared all available English translations of the poems. The culmination of their efforts brings the best work of 30 translators (including Aldous Huxley and Edna St. Vincent Millay) represented in the 163 poems presented in this volume. The complete French texts, as established for the Pleiade edition, are provided making this a bilingual edition. Several of the poems were never before published and the first English translations of Baudelaire's three drafts for a Preface are also included.
