Description
In this volume of selected letters of the symbolist critic and poet, Arthur Symons (1865-1945), the editors have included the best of Symons' extensive correspondence with such figures as James Joyce, W.B.Yeats, Joseph Conrad, Paul Verlaine, Edmund Gosse, Thomas Hardy and Augustus John. The letters reveal the world of literary London in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, of the development of early Modernism and of Symons' sudden mental breakdown in 1908. Supplementary material is included, such as a long previously unpublished letter on Symons by Havelock Ellis, his friend for over forty years. Karl Beckson also wrote "Henry Harland: His Life and Work" and "Arthur Symons: A Life".
