  • I hope this brief notice prevents other readers from making a similar error. If you want all the poems, or better still, the complete works, in translation, then you will have to look elsewhere I don't have a current recommendation, but will post one when I do. That said, Wallace Fowlie's translations of the 50 selected poems are very accurate, and worth having for that reason alone. These are literal translations what we used to call "ponies," although I am not sure why, in school.

    He renders every line, pretty much word-for-word, into good understandable English, making no attempt to create a "literary" or "poetic" version. I would use these translations simply to check my understanding of the original French, and can recommend them very highly to students for that purpose. I've taught French for years and worked as a technical translator for computer hardware and software providers. I love the English language.

    I love the French language. For a student or poetry lover, this book is an invaluable guide with original and translation presented side by side. Serious students may quibble a bit over specific phrases in translation, but any English-speaking person can enjoy the art of Beaudelaire without the drudgery of leafing through translating dictionaries and grammars.

    Lazy students of French could use the book to cheat on assignments, but no one can escape the revelation of the artistry of the verses. The cover is completely different from the one on the picture. Is this because it is the only ones left? If so, will you be getting more with the cover that you have on the picture? I was interested in ordering this book because of the dual language publishing. It is great for conceptualizing meanings in the french language by comparing it to the translation in English. I received a beautiful copy as it is in perfectly new condition -- arrived like what seemed right on time.

Not Enabled Word Wise: Enabled Amazon Best Sellers Rank: Teachers of French will appreciate the clear prose translations on facing pages; the translator does not attempt to be a poet himself, rather to lead the reader to a full appreciation of the poem as it was written. An introductory essay gives as understandable a short summary of the formal aspects of versification as can be found anywhere — the early orthodoxy of rhyme and meter, the gradual introduction of enjambment and metrical variation, through the word games and innovations of Apollinaire and his circle.

    A biographical and critical essay on each poet and his work not only depicts the poet as an individual but also gives a fine sense of the progressing and changing tradition of French poetry itself. An illustration, usually a portrait of the poet, accompanies each selection. The clarity and comprehensiveness of this attractive anthology as well as its low cost make it an ideal volume for an introductory survey of French poetry. For the student just beginning the study of French, this book is good supplementary material; the format of this book makes it easy to experience French poetry and learn vocabulary and grammar at the same time.
