1856167942Paris: Michel Lévy Frères 1856-58. The original three Baudelaire translations First editions. Baudelaire's famous prose translations of Poe began with these three works and were not continued for another seven years. Though Poe's national image was long a matter of controversy in continental Europe his reputation was immediately established through the translations of Baudelaire who "forever blended the style form and spirit of Poe with the literature of France" Harner. For Baudelaire "Poe was an alter-ego a long-lost brother a partner in crime and a writer in whom he could confide his sacred fury. Of the twelve volumes of Baudelaire's complete works five are devoted to his brilliant translations of Poe" Foye p. 75. The project "was not far different from that of an impassioned believer translating the New Testament" Arthur Ransome p. 225 and it left an indelible mark on the careers of both men. According to Valéry Baudelaire's natural talents "would have made him only an emulator of Gautier or an excellent artist of the Parnassian school if he had not due to his inquiring turn of mind had the good fortune to discover a new intellectual world in the words of Edgar Poe. From this point onward Baudelaire will possess his canonical identity" cited in Blood pp. 42-3. The set includes Baudelaire's early study "Edgar Poe: Sa vie et ses oeuvres" and some of Poe's most famous stories such as "The Gold-Bug" "The Black Cat" and "The Masque of the Red Death". Three works octavo 180 x 116 mm. First work bound without half-title. Contemporary brown half morocco red and green spine labels raised bands ruled in blind sides and corners with gilt fillet marbled sides and endpapers top edges gilt other edges untrimmed original wrappers bound in but without the first work's front wrapper. Engraved bookplate of "J.V." on front pastedowns. Spines slightly faded small corner wear contents lightly foxed. A very good set attractively bound. Sabin 63528 63560 & 63562; Vicaire VII pp. 735-7.
