Arthur Symons s (1865-1945) prominence at the end of the nineteenth century and subsequent influence on early-twentieth-century literature is well established His biographer Karl Beckson aptly calls him a major figure who helped stimulate the Modernist initiative. The breadth of his artistic interests and critical commentary remains extraordinary. In addition to writing short stories, poems, plays, travel sketches, and translations, Symons was a prolific critic and editor who wrote about literature and what he termed the seven arts. Yeats famously offered him the laurel best critic of his generation. Symons championed freedom of subject matter and literary style and thus influenced the work of Yeats, Eliot, Pound, Joyce, and others, particularly in introducing them to the evocative work of French symbolist writers. *Arthur Symons, Critic Among Critics: An Annotated Bibliography* documents the scholarly attention Symons continues to receive not only for his critical influence, but for his own creative work.
