El descubrimiento de Edgar Allan Poe por Baudelaire constituye uno de los grandes acontecimientos de la historia literaria: la personalidad de Baudelaire, situada en las fuentes de la sensibilidad y la concepción del arte de nuestros días, madura y se consolida a través de la reflexión sobre Poe; y es gracias a la labor de Baudelaire que el arte de Poe influye poderosamente en la revolución artística de los siglos XIX y XX.
La reflexión de Baudelarie sobre Poe es un punto de referencia esencial para la comprensión de la literatura actual, y constituye en sí misma, una obra maestra de la literatura moderna.

(Paris, 1821-1867) He is among the most influential poets of the 19th century, and probably also of the entire history of world literature. Expelled from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand despite obtaining the title of Superior Bachelor, in 1940 he enrolled in the faculty of law. He then began to frequent the Latin Quarter, where he met Gérard de Nerval, Sainte-Beuve, and Balzac, plunging uncontrollably into the world of smoke, opium, and prostitution of the Parisian bohemia. Due to his impious behavior, his family sent him to the South Seas. Upon his return, however, Baudelaire would translate the works of Edgar Allan Poe into French and carry out his most famous works: from the scandalous poetry collection The Flowers of Evil (1857) to the texts of Artificial Paradises (1960) and the posthumous Paris Spleen (1869). Harshly criticized and vilified in life for the scandalous nature of his work and behavior, Baudelaire died syphilitic and impoverished, unaware of the invaluable legacy he had bequeathed to posterity. Champion of symbolism, standard-bearer of romanticism, and precursor of decadentism, his body lies buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery.
