description: The principal protagonists of the Symbolist movement, Paul Valéry, Rainer Maria Rilke, Stefan George, Alexander Blok and W.B. Yeats, were rightly considered the most eminent poets of their time, but they were also much concerned with theories of poetry and they came to exciting and original conclusions about it. This study of the movement to which they belonged is the first attempt in English to see it as a whole and to assess the peculiar qualities of its achievement and consider some of its fundamental ideas.
