"Le livre des masques: Portraits symbolistes" by Remy de Gourmont is a collection of critical essays and literary portraits written in the late 19th century. The work examines various symbolist writers and poets, providing insight into their philosophies and stylistic approaches while considering the broader context of literary evolution. Gourmont's analysis seeks to delve into the depths of the symbolism movement, exploring how it represents a shift towards individualism and artistic freedom in literature. The opening of this work presents a preface rich in philosophical musings about literature and artistic expression. Gourmont reflects on the complexities of literary evolution, particularly the symbolism movement, which he argues strived to transcend traditional forms and embrace new, individualistic expressions of art. He contrasts the symbolist approach with that of naturalism, emphasizing the symbolic representation of ideas as essential to literature. Through this lens, he introduces the subsequent portraits of notable writers, hinting at a mix of admiration and critique for their contributions to the evolving landscape of literature during his time.
