The Flowers of Evil, which T. S. Eliot called the greatest example of modern poetry in any language, shocked the literary world of nineteenth century France with its outspoken portrayal of lesbian love, its linking sexuality and death, its unremitting irony, and its unflinching celebration of the seamy side of urban life. The volume was seized by the police, and Baudelaire and his published were put on trial for offence to public decency. Six offending poemswere banned, in a conviction that was not overturned until 1949.This bold new translation, which restores the banned poems to their original places and reveals the full richness and variety of the collection, makes available to English speakers a powerful and original version of the world. Jonathan Culler's Introduction outlines this vision, stressing that Baudelaire is more than just the poet of the modern city. Originally to be called `The Lesbians', The Flowers of Evil contains the most extraordinary body of love poetry. The poems also pose thequestion of the role of evil in our lives, of whether there are not external forces working to frustrate human plans and to enlist men and women on appalling or stultifying scenarios not of their own making.

The poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) has been labeled the very icon of modernity, the scribe of the modern city, and an observer of an emerging capitalist culture. Seeing Double reconsiders this iconic literary figure and his fraught relationship with the nineteenth-century world by examining the way in which he viewed the increasing dominance of modern life. In doing so, it revises some of our most common assumptions about the unresolved tensions that emerged in Baudelaire's writing during a time of political and social upheaval. Françoise Meltzer argues

Lawrence, the Imagists, John Middleton Murry, Eliot, and others, Patricia Clements describes the Baudelaire who is the creation of the English poets and identifies some major lines in the development of modernism in English literature.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Long description: 'Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers', heute einer der meistdiskutierten Texte zum Problem des Übersetzens, betrachtete Walter Benjamin seinerzeit als sein ›Credo‹. Wie das zu verstehen ist, macht Julia Abel durch eine Rekonstruktion der systematischen Zusammenhänge im Frühwerk Benjamins deutlich, in dem der Begriff der Übersetzung eine besondere Rolle spielt. Erstmals wird der Essay als Reaktion auf zeitgenössische Problemlagen in Philosophie und Literatur erkennbar, als Antwort auf ästhetische Konzepte des George-Kreises, Rudolf Borchardts und Hugo von Hofmannsthals und schließlich als Entwurf einer Theorie, die den von Hellingrath wiederentdeckten Pindar-Übersetzungen Hölderlins gerecht werden will. Biographical note: Julia Abel studierte Germanistik, Philosophie sowie Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft in Bochum, Wuppertal und Paris. Seit 2002 ist sie Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin bzw. Lehrbeauftragte für Neuere deutsche Literaturgeschichte und Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft an der Bergischen Universität Wuppertal.
