 British Theory and Criticism: 5. Symbolism
Symbolist poets such as Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, for example, rejected both the superficial rhetoric of argument and discussion and the dense notation of description and narration, all things that had obscured the true nature of poetry, in favor of the severe purity of a symbolic lyricism.
The true sources of Symbolism, Symons concludes, lie in ancient systems of mysticism, and the true purpose of the movement was to evoke the presence of the infinite and confirm the possibility of immortality through the associative network of symbols, ancient and modern.
Symons himself was influenced and directed in his understanding of Symbolism by the poet he described as the "chief representative of that movement in our country" (xix) and to whom he dedicated his book, W. Yeats (1865-1939).

Symons was a poet and critic of the Symbolist movement, and this book was meant to be a general introduction to the French Symbolists.
As an introduction, it is superb--it familiarized me with the works, lives, and styles of many important Symbolist writers such as Nerval, Merimee, Villiers, Verlaine, etc. There is an appendix which includes writers that aren't really Symbolist, like Flaubert, Balzac, Goncourt, but even this appendix is informative and interesting.
