Summary: "Symbolistes et Décadents" by Gustave Kahn is a critical examination of the Symbolist and Decadent movements in literature written in the early 20th century. This work provides insights into the origins, evolution, and significance of these artistic trends, focusing particularly on the relationship between various poets and their contributions to the aesthetic landscape of their time. Kahn highlights the complexities of literary identity and the ongoing conversation regarding the future of poetic forms, such as free verse. The opening portion of the book sets a reflective tone as Kahn discusses the challenges of documenting recent literary history, referencing the pivotal figures in the Symbolist movement and how their works have been received over time. He emphasizes the ongoing evolution of Symbolism, suggesting that the full story of this literary current is yet to be written. Through anecdotes about contemporaries and mentions of influential literary journals, Kahn outlines the rich tapestry of artistic interactions in Paris during the late 19th century, setting the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the connections between artists and the evolution of their styles.
