More about the book

Focusing on the influential Symbolist movement, Arthur Symons examines the works and lives of key figures such as Flaubert, Baudelaire, and Rimbaud in this significant 1899 study. His insights not only shaped early modernist poetry but also inspired renowned poets like T.S. Eliot and W.B. Yeats. Known as the 'blonde angel' of the Bohemian literary tradition, Symons draws from his experiences in France and Italy, connecting with prominent artists of his time. This edition features a note on Symons and galleries of illustrations showcasing Symbolist writers and art.
