The Symbolist Movement in Literature by Arthur Symons
"The Symbolist Movement in Literature" by Arthur Symons is a collection of critical essays first published in 1899. This groundbreaking work introduced French Symbolist poets and writers to English-speaking audiences, profoundly shaping early Modernist literature. Through essays on figures like Verlaine, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, Symons explored a revolutionary literary principle spreading across countries. The book became a vital influence on major writers including W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot, who credited
it with transforming their understanding of poetry and directing the course of their careers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
