The term Symbolism came to represent a literary, artistic and intellectual movement of great influence. Originating in France around 1880, was above all a movement of protest against positivism, scientism and philistinism, and embraced all the idealist aspirations of the age. A list of illustrations and a full index of names complete this compact reference book to a fascinating artistic epoch.
