About this book
Remy de Gourmont is the author of The Book of Masks, translated by Jack Lewis with an introduction by Ludwig Lewisohn. The contents list names, among others, Maeterlinck, Lautréamont, Verhaeren and Corbière. The text says the Symbolist movement arose in France as a protest against the naturalistic, the objective in substance and against the rigid and sonorous in form.
Stéphane Mallarmé taught the Symbolist system of poetics: to name no things except as symbols of unseen realities, to use the external world merely as a means of communicating mood and revery and reflection. The text says the actual poets of the movement are little known among us. The text says that Paul Adam is today in all his radiance and on the very eve of glory.
