		He was the only son of John Addington Symonds, M.D. (1807-1871), the author of an essay on Criminal Responsibility (1869), The Principles of Beauty (1857) and Sleep and Dreams (2nd ed., 1857).
		The Renaissance had been the subject of Symonds' prize essay at Oxford, and the study which he had then given to the theme aroused in him a desire to produce something like a complete picture of the reawakening of art and literature in Europe.
		Symonds, indeed, became in no common sense a citizen of the town; he took part in its municipal business, made friends with the peasants, and shared their interests.

	LETTERS From CAMP Rehoboth - Aug. 25, 2000 - Past Out
		John Addington Symonds was such a defender of “sexual aberrations” that Algernon Swinburne, a respected English intellectual, nicknamed the famous writer “Soddington Symonds” in a twist on the word sodomy.
		In 1840, Symonds was born in Clifton, England, to wealthy physician Dr. John Symonds, a pious man who taught his son to adhere to strict Puritan morality.
		Symonds, who aspired to a literary career, wrote many poems about the “love of the Ancients.” When discussing his poetry with another student, he told his friend about Vaughan’s relationship with his pupil.

	glbtq >> literature >> Symonds, John Addington
		John Addington Symonds was the most daring innovator in the history of nineteenth-century British homosexual writing and consciousness though some of his work was not entirely unprecedented and was also part of a more widespread movement in the earlier modern West toward greater homosexual frankness.
		Moreover, the many letters Symonds wrote to other homosexuals--starting in 1863 with his friend Graham Dakyns and continuing with Horatio Brown, Walt Whitman, Edmund Gosse, Charles Kains-Jackson, and Edward Carpenter--though certainly not the first frank homosexual letters by a Western writer, are the first surviving examples in history of extensive and candid homosexual correspondence.
		Symonds also included homosexual implication or direct content in his published work from relatively early in his career and increasingly in his final years.

		Symonds was an aristocratic English man of letters who, by virtue of his class status, was able to lead a closeted but very active sexual life.
		Symonds concludes that homosexuality is innate and not a disease or mental disorder, gay sexuality is every bit as natural as heterosexuality, and homosexual acts between consenting adults should not be treated as criminal.
		Symonds later wrote a companion essay to this, A Problem in Greek Ethics, which drew on his extensive classical knowledge to examine homosexuality in ancient Greece.

		Symonds was never listed again on the title page of Sexual Inversion, which eventually became Part Two of Volume II of Ellis's collected Studies in the Psychology of Sex.
		Symonds was aware of his "persistent passion for the male sex" from his earliest erotic recollections, but his pioneering homosexual work was not accomplished without considerable strain against, and concession to, the "social law" of his time, which "regarded this love as abominable and unnatural."
		But in his Memoirs, Symonds clearly presents himself as someone with a de facto homosexual orientation and a definite sense of social difference because of it long before the new sexological literature that started to burgeon in the late 1880s.

		'Symonds was a prolific and scholarly writer whose 'Introduction to the Study of Dante' was deemed to be "excellent" upon its publication.
		It was attempted on a scale involving an amount of toil in the collection of material from which, in his biographer's opinion, Symonds never recovered.
		Symonds' descriptive talent is especially remarkable, and his permanent reputation must mainly rest, apart from his translations (among which, Michelangelo's Sonnets stands at the forefront) upon his 'History of the Italian Renaissance'.
