About this title

Synopsis

A portrait of John Addington Symonds, told mostly in his own words .

This concise biography draws on autobiography, diaries, and letters to present a more intimate, contemporary view of a complex personality. It offers a narrative that lets Symonds speak for himself while the biographer constructs a readable, ongoing account.

This edition revises the first in light of critique, aiming to balance biography with the genuine voice of its subject. The result is a closely argued portrait that tracks psychological development across different periods of his life, using the strongest contemporary sources available.

Audience-friendly access to a rich collection of personal writings—diaries, notes, and letters—that illuminate Symonds's thoughts and feelings.
A guided, continuous narrative that avoids awkward breaks while signaling sources when needed.
Insights into the author’s creative voice, doubts about poetry and art, and the forces shaping his life and work.
Context for understanding how a man of means and travel built a vivid inner world and public persona.

Ideal for readers of literary biographies and those curious about the private life behind a public figure, this edition helps you see the person behind the pages.
