Like Flaubert, Baudelaire was rebuked by the court for his “realism.” The judges held that some of his poems “necessarily lead to the excitement of the senses by a crude realism offensive to public decency.” The poet had already distanced himself from Courbet’s visual realism, and the court was using the term in a very general sense, but Baudelaire’s fascination with the detritus of urban life did chime in with realist concerns. The ban was not officially lifted until 1949, by which time Baudelaire had achieved “classic” status as among the most important influences on modern literature in France and throughout Europe. The court banned six of Baudelaire’s erotic poems, two of them on lesbian themes and the other four heterosexual but mildly sado-masochistic. In August of 1857, the French lawyer who had prosecuted Gustave Flaubert, Ernest Pinard, had greater success in prosecuting Charles Baudelaire for The Flowers of Evil ( Les Fleurs du Mal) (1857).
