A few questions:
- So now we know who they were influenced by and who they influenced, but who were they themselves? What are some examples?
- Why was the poetry called "symbolism"?
- Was it just a historical movement or is it a general type of poetry that could, theoretically, be found in 14th century Italy?
Also, a few comments: Symbolist Poets was a poor name for the article, for two reasons. First, since the second word in the title was capitalized, if anyone ever wants to link to the article, he will have to Write It Like This; see naming conventions. Second, it isn't actually the name of your subject, is it? You want to discuss a type or movement of poetry, rather than a set of individual poets who made up the movement, no? Again, see naming conventions. --LMS
I will give this a going over at the weekend, Larry. Symbolist poetry is one of my long suits (see also Marina Tsvetaeva, both an Acmeist and a Symbolist poet (quite an achievement!)). sjc
- Do'y think this ought to be merged with Symbolism (arts)? --- Smerdis of Tlön 20:50, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Ahmet Hasim
An anon added a reference to "Ahmet Haşim" in the article. Who's he? -- Smerdis of Tlön 21:23, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
