Association of Symbolist Writers

The Association of Symbolist Writers was a group formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to bring together authors who embraced Symbolism, a literary and artistic movement emphasizing the use of symbols, mood, and suggestion to evoke deeper emotional and spiritual truths. Rather than straightforward storytelling, members focused on capturing the subconscious and inner experiences through poetic language and imagery. The association facilitated collaboration, shared ideas, and promoted the Symbolist aesthetic across different countries, influencing literature, art, and culture with its emphasis on intuition, mystery, and the mystical.
