What are your opinions on 19th Century French poets such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, and Mallarmé?
They're good. Rimbaud moreso than the others, though.

Mallarmé > Rimbaud
go back to your translations

rimbaud is infantile poseur

This is true. Would also put Gerard de Nerval above Rimbaud. Rimbaud lived better than the rest however.

Overall it's very good. I like how Hugo completely dominated French romanticism, forcing other poets to make something new, which eventually led to both Parnassianism and Symbolism.
>such as Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, and Mallarmé?
They are all excellent. Verlaine is terribly underrated though.
