Edited by Karl Beckson and John M. Munro, Arthur Symons: Selected Letters, 1880–1935 chronicles Symons's literary relationships, aesthetic convictions, and personal struggles, offering readers direct access to the mind of a man who shaped the course of late Victorian and early modernist literature. The letters illuminate his friendships and exchanges with towering figures such as W.B. Yeats, Havelock Ellis, and Walter Pater, revealing the intellectual ferment of an era in transition. Written with candor and often striking emotional depth, the correspondence also documents Symons's devastating mental breakdown in 1908 and his long, difficult recovery, adding a profoundly human dimension to his literary legacy. An indispensable resource for scholars of the period, this volume argues through primary evidence that Symons's influence on modernism was far greater than his current reputation suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839341375707,"sku":"2026770001651-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6ad30656-1c2d-4b5e-bf92-222bfc70a5b6.png?v=1780560871","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001651-secondhand-arthur-symons-selected-letters-1880-1935","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
