Charles Baudelaire

Charles Pierre Baudelaire (April 9, 1821 – August 31, 1867) was one of the most influential French poets of the nineteenth Century. He was also an important critic and translator.

Influence

Baudelaire is one of the most famous decadent poets, but before the 20th century, when his work underwent considerable re-evaluation, he was generally considered by many to be merely a drug addict and a very vulgar author.
