<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Villiers de l'Isle-Adam (1838-1889), though best known for his contes cruels and his proto science fiction novel <em>L'Ève future</em>, began his career with two volumes of verse, <em>Deux essais de poésie</em> (1858) and <em>Premières poésies</em> (1859), the contents of which are here presented in their entirety as <em>Complete Early Poetry</em>, translated for the first time into English, by Richard Robinson. </p><p><br></p><p>Under the spell of Baudelaire and Leconte de Lisle, the young author produced these early exemplars of Decadent verse, which are filled with exoticism, nocturnal fantasies, and mystery. <em>Complete Early Poetry</em> offers further insight into one of the most interesting and eccentric of the French Symbolists. </p>
