" Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was a colorful and controversial Italian painter, talented musician, a notable comic actor, a prolific correspondent, and a successful satirist and poet. His paintings, especially his rugged landscapes and their evocation of the sublime, appealed to Romantic writers, and his work was highly influential on several generations of European writers. James S. Patty analyzes Rosa’s tremendous influence on French writers, chiefly those of the nineteenth century, such as Stendhal, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo, George Sand, and Théophile Gautier. Arranged in chronological order, with numerous quotations from French fiction, poetry, drama, art criticism, art history, literary history, and reference works, Salvator Rosa in French Literature forms a narrative account of the reception of Rosa’s life and work in the world of French letters. James S. Patty, professor emeritus of French at Vanderbilt University, is the author of Dürer in French Letters . He lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

Considered by some critics to be the definitive translation to date of Baudelaire's seminal work of world poetry, this dual language book contains all of the poems that were published in the second edition of 1861. The censored pieces from the first edition of 1857 are also included. "I should like to congratulate John Tidball on his most erudite translations of Baudelaire's poetry." - Dan Kelly, Commandeur dans l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques. "The translations here come closer to the original feel of the texts than any other versions I have read." - Annie Burnside, M.A. (Classical French Literature), Officier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques."
