Every so often a short period in a country’s history gives rise to an extraordinary burst of creativity. So it was in France from the 1840s to about 1870, when an abundance of poets emerged. Perhaps they have had little profound influence on English-language poetry, but they remain among the readable poets of any time.
Our new editions of Baudelaire and Rimbaud testify to their enduring strength, with their inventive presentations by Oliver Bernard (Rimbaud) and the late Francis Scarfe (Baudelaire). Nor should an older poet, Victor Hugo, be overlooked: Harry Guest's versions are a surprise and a delight.
