Maroon coloured boards with gilt coloured titles to the backstrip. Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) was a scandal ridden 19th century French poet; and, since his death his life has been one of myth, anecdote and scandal, albeit some of it based on truth. The author has drawn on over 100 years of research and scholarship to give the fullest, and most accurate, biography available for this man.

Softening and rubbing of the backstrip edges with cocking of the spine. Tape residue can be seen to the end pages. Age toning of the text block edges and pages. First English Translation.
