 symbolist literature
Symbolist poets tried to capture sensations and states of mind that lay beyond normal consciousness by disordering their senses, indulging in decadence, occultism, and opposition to sober bourgeois values.
The wider concerns of the Symbolists – alienation from big business and materialism, the Cartesian split between mind and body, the biological association of thought and feeling – are not only pursued by contemporary writers and poets but by scientists and philosophers.
Good introductions to Symbolist literature are: The Symbolist Movement (1970) by W.K. Cornell, The Heritage of Symbolism (1943) by C.M. Bowra and The Symbolist Movement in the Literature of European Languages edited by A. Balakian (1982).

 Symbolist Art -- Introduction
The Symbolist movement was first identified in literature; poets such as Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé and others began writing mysterious and elegantly polished verse shortly after mid-century.
If there is one central tenet held by Symbolist artists, it is that life is fundamentally mysterious, and the artist must respect and preserve this mystery.(2) Thus they insisted on suggestion rather than explicitness, symbols or equivalents rather than description, in both painting and poetry.
Many Symbolist artists and writers of the late nineteenth century sought an antidote to the excesses of materialism and positivism in mysticism or occult philosophy.

 TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - French Symbolism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Symbolist poetic movement originated with a group of French poets in the late 19th century.
Symbolist artists sought to express the immediate sensations of human experience and the inner life, through the subtle and suggestive use of highly metaphorical language, in the form of symbols.
Because of their interest in the bizarre and the artificial and in themes of decay and ruin, many of the Symbolist poets were identified with the Decadent movement of the same period.

One of the annoying things about the received opinion about the Romantic poets is the statement that there were exactly six of them--Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley.
This pronouncement is usually delivered with equal conviction to assertions you usually hear only in the natural sciences--e.g., that there are three kinds of human muscle (cardiac, striated, and slow-flexing) and two kinds of stony drip-accreted icicles in caves (stalactites and stalagmites).
It's also welcome to see the inclusion of poets who are sometimes left out because they might be felt to be minor or unpopular (Landor) or generically different (Burns) by anthologizers.

 Poetry and the Human Condition: Poets and their Work
Lynen, in contrast to Nitchie, argues that Frost stands on par with the Symbolist poets of the twentieth century, in exploring the issue of man's relationship to his world.
The chief difference between Frost and the other great modern poets, according to Lynen, is that he chose pastoral settings as the metaphorical framework for his ideas.
For Frost, he argues, nature is an image of the world of circumstances in which man finds himself, and in his poems of man and nature, Frost is exploring the problem of the parallel and disparate realities of our inner experience and values, and the outer, objective world reducible to particles and physical events.

Evariste de Parny wrote poetry in both verse and prose, the former conventional in style, the latter, notably in his Chansons Madécasses (Songs from Madagascar, 1778), passionate and committed in its anti-colonialism.
The century did however produce, in André Chénier, one fine poet who wrote in verse.
Chénier took his inspiration from Classical antiquity, but he saw the Classical past through modern eyes, and his rhythmic and metrical innovations broke with the rules of versification that French poetry had inherited from the 17th century.

This work describes the concepts of Symbolist art used for this study and presents a sequence of the works and writings of five artists - Washington Allston at the beginning of the century, John La Farge and William Rimmer at mid-century, and George Inness and Albert Pinkham Ryder at the end.
The Symbolist works of these five Americans are analyzed along side their writings about art, as well as writings by the few major critics who understood their aesthetic intentions at the time, such as James Jackson Jarves, Charles de Kay, and Roger Fry.
Not a survey, but rather a highly selective and suggestive study, this book was written with the intent of refining the historical concept of Symbolist Art in general, by extending the view further into American art.
