French poet Charles Baudelaire's highly original style of prose-poetry influenced an entire generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé, among many others. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil) expresses the changing nature of beauty in modern, and rapidly industrializing Paris during the mid-19th century.
