About the book >.>.> Arthur William Symons (1865-1945) poet critic and translator champion of the French Symbolists in England and friend of many important writers at the turn of the century (notably Yeats with whom he once shared- a flat and who found him ‘more intelligently sympathetic than any man I have known’) is a figure deserving close reconsideration. This selection – the first to appear – is made from the full range of Symons’s work and the Introduction offers a penetrating discussion of Symons as both a Decadent artist of the nineties and the precursor of such ‘modern’ poets as Eliot and Pound.
