"The Book of Masks" by Remy de Gourmont is a collection of critical essays written in the late 19th century. This work presents a series of critical portraits of various influential poets, particularly those associated with the Symbolist movement in France, analyzing their contributions to modern poetry. Through these essays, Gourmont explores the nature of art, individuality, and the creative spirit, aiming to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the aesthetics and philosophies that shaped contemporary literature. The opening portion of the book features an introduction that emphasizes the importance of individual expression in literature, arguing against rigid classifications and moralistic judgments. It discusses the evolution of literary critique, praising Gourmont's approach as representative of the New Criticism. The introduction honors the Symbolists, highlighting figures such as Stéphane Mallarmé and others, and outlines the significance of their work in the context of emerging modern poetic forms. Through this lens, Gourmont sets the tone for exploring the unique characteristics and contributions of these poets, all while advocating for the value of personal experience in artistic expression.
