Hardcover. Zustand: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Arthur Symons (1865-1945) was a central figure in the cultural and social networks of the British fin de siecle. He was an often controversial poet and critic who introduced British readers to French Decadence and Symbolism and had an equally important if largely unacknowledged influence on the development of modernism. In 1908 - the year of a mental breakdown that had a disastrous effect both on his career and posthumous reputation - W.B. Yeats referred to him as 'the best critic of his generation'. Symons' vast body of work also includes fiction and writings on the visual arts, music, theatre, and the popular stage, as well as translations of Baudelaire, Mallarme, Verlaine and D'Annunzio.The essays in this volume reflect the breadth of Symons' interests, reassessing this dynamic writer who played a key mediating role between English and European literatures, and between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This copy is in Very Good condition. Minimal shelf wear to the covers and a small amount of sticker residue [see images]. Otherwise very good.
