In addition to becoming a master for Charles Baudelaire, Poe also became an idol for French poet Stéphane Mallarmé, who translated this 1889 edition of Poe’s poems. Mallarmé particularly admired Poe’s modernist impulses–namely, the separation of the man from the artist, as well as the importance of the meaning and sound of every word in a poem.
